Well dear friends,
The Adventure has begun.

With the great help from some terrific friends, esp. Marci and Gail, we got the Beast outfitted, supplied and organized.
Peter and I left LA Thurs morn, Sept 11th, heading for Vegas.
The trip was uneventful; except for the times Peter couldn’t decide where he felt safest.

I thought he was beginning to trust my driving, but he still insists on wearing a crash helmet and safety harness, He’s a real confidence builder.

Circus Circus has its own RV Park, right on the strip. It was pretty hot, so we took it easy during the day, and in the evening, with the aide of my new scooter, we prowled the streets. We didn’t get too far, but Peter held up pretty well with the noise, lights and excitement.

We stayed 2 nights and then headed north, thru Arizona to Utah. Right now it is a cool evening in Fillmore, Utah, and we are sitting at a picnic table in an RV park checking email and writing letters. This Sprint wireless setup is worth its weight in gold – let’s hope I can say that when I get to Wyoming and South Dakota.
t
I will be using a new email address for a while so I can avoid the Spam and other garbage.

Even though I may write to you using YAHOO, please write to me at:

Steve@matlinusa.com. I will check this one daily (if I can) and yahoo not as often.

My cell phone# is 310-704-5842, but I check for messages on my home phone daily, so you can always just leave a message there and I’ll call you back.

If you want to fax me anything – I have an internet fax # - it is a Nevada # but it sends it to me as email and its free - 775-255-5313

I don’t plan on taking a lot of pictures, but I’ll try to get people to take pictures of us.

Keep in touch and pray for warm weather and dry roads.
