My best to all of you. "

" Great to see you guys for the few moments I did, knowing you made it back ok. However, Bryan, you are never aloud to sleep within earshot of me again!Sure you were all the way downstairs, but sound carries as hot air rises I suppose.Had I not had to work that morning, perhaps I would have yelled at you in person...oh well. Glad you guys had fun, see ya.

" Well done, gentlemen. Pleasure having you visit. After viewing shots from Roswell I am convinced there is no intelligent life there. Re the Ball of Twine: I'm sorely disappointed that it is not a "ball" in the truest sense...I mean, the bottom's flat! Wazzup w/Dat? It's large and impressive, but not a BALL, dammit! I'm disillusioned. Again, well done, guys. Glad you're back safe and unindicted. Sid "

" Chris, We are back from Idyllwild in the mountains. Who would have thought we would get a call from you up there. We couldn't find a fax copier on a Sat. after 3 P.M. but a realator in town helped us at no charge. She saw us at church and said she is glad she helped us or else she would have felt guilty in church. We are just glad you are all safe. See you soon. Love, Mom "

" We were getting worried when we didn't hear anything. We are glad you are all ok minus Todd's cash. Todd I should have told you what I told Chris. "Traveler's Checks". That's ok he didn't listen to me when I suggested it. We hope the return route is more fun and there are no more breakdowns or cops involved. Adventure on Dudes. "

" Hi Todd,
You guys are now officially road warriors! What's a road trip without a little car trouble, a little "interesting" weather, etc.? Sorry to hear about the wallet but how fortunate you're getting it back -- minus the money :-( Hope you weren't carrying much cash. Looking forward to more photos. GREAT photos of the Grand Canyon! Take care. Enjoy New Orleans. Say hello to Bryan's family. Love ya, Mom "

" I've been thinking of giving a call to J. Burton Black. What do you think? He sounds like someone I could really go for. You know me Todd....I love a clean bathroom. What do ya think? Do I dare take a chance? Ah...who am I kidding...He's probably married. All the good, clean ones are always taken.
Oh yeah, seems like your having fun.. You are having fun right,Toddy? "

" Great new photos, especially grand canyon, bathrooms and all the dam good pictures. Bryan, get Chris some zinc oxide for his rash. and if you see any more domesticated cattle or foul in the way, hit it! Roadkill's damn good eats. PS- I TOLD you there wasn't anything to see in Utah... "

" Chris, one word, "BENADRYL". It could have been the starch in the sheets, or the food you ate. If the rash isn't gone get some Benadryl. It should do the trick. How's the van? You didn't hit any of those critters did you? Tip #2 Don't eat yellow snow. Oh yeah, It's summer. "

" I am anxiously awaiting some photos of roadside bathrooms. I do hope you will stop at, at least 2 or 3 truck stops a long the way. I would LOVE to see the bathroom inside a truck stop diner. I have seen a lot in my life (right, Toddy?) but I have never seen the inside of a men's bathroom in a greasy spoon roadside trucker's diner. I would soooo like my first time experience to be one we can share, Todd! I'm really excited about this....a little frightened but my adrenalin is pumped just thinking about it! I want to hear all the delicious details too! Don't forget to shoot the urinal and the inside of the sink! Have fun. That's an order! "

" But you forgot the hula dancin lilo! Tho she is in the back of the white tiger, and I would have loaned her for sake of you're easily amused minds, she is with you in spirit. Just remember, Ohana means family, family means no one gets left behind, or forgotten....so uh, try not to ditch Todd at a mcdonald's in the middle of nowhere. Drive On! "
