My son Luke's just turned 14 so now he can come out with me in the truck. He's also got next week off school so he's coming out on the next trip.
He is so excited about it and i have to admit i am too, i spoke to H&R last week and they have sorted us out with a nice interesting trip down to the Mexican border so im sure he will have a great time.
We are leaving Saturday, looks like we have to go to the meat plant first to collect the trailer then its straight south.
The route will take us thru the border at Sweetgrass then Great Falls, Butte, Pocatello, Salt Lake City,Mesquite, Virgin River Gorge, Las Vegas, Los Angeles then down to San Diego.
How many Dads can do that for their kids, just take them swanning all over America, one little phraise ( a favourite of mine) springs to mind.
Livin' The Dream.
Enjoy that time together. I got to take my son to Otay Mesa which is right on the border and we got some pictures from the mexican side without actually having to cross the border. Will he be more taken with the palm trees or the joshua trees? I expect to see some action shots from Whiskey Pete's coaster and at least one trip to Jack in the Box.i'm going to Phoenix and southern California myself next week. i will be in L.A. on tuesday. see yaa
