We've been patiently waiting but the glorious day has finally come! 

Looks better than we could have imagined... Thank you so much to Ken and his team at Farber - it has been a wonderful experience! We were just shocked at how everything turned out - Ben is pleased the All Sky Camera works perfectly! 

The past week has been insane... insanely awesome. Between moving things into storage, getting our home ready to rent, dealing with a gigantic ornamental oak going down on us,  etc... it has been fun. But all wonderful experience nevertheless, bringing us closer to the start of the journey! It has been wonderful conversing with very nice folks around the country, and seeing their names on the RV. 

Check the Photos section for updated pictures... we'll be adding close up shots with sponsor names tomorrow! To Dayton on Saturday!

That is absolutely AWESOME!!
It looks even better than I had imagined!
My brother & his wife in Lake Charles, LA also had their large oak tree fall down a couple of weeks ago. The mighty have fallen, and the meek are inheriting the earth. ;-)
Much love & grace surrounding you, my dear friends, throughout this grand journey! <3 <3

Have a safe first trip. Very excited by it all, your craft looks wonderful :-) I hope you are going to post some seriously good photos where we can actually identify exactly which part of the ship's hull has our individual names on. Bon voyage x
