Small Design Office of Jun Lee for making this site a reality.

Our long-suffering friends for listening to us go on and on and on and on and on (gasp) and on and on about this "really great trip" we've been planning for the past 3 years.

Bob and Trudi Mohl for what is sure to be a very worn out National Parks Pass.

Kristy Catchpole for reliably pointing out which tops would look cute in the truck.

Harry and Norma Catchpole for Grandpa's compass, their undying support and the use of their brand new washer and dryer.
