Erik + Family Launch - this is out of order, they left about a week ago

Well we have just launched to soon join Shane and Deanna's family!  What I have just emailed to Friends and Family:  In case I haven’t already talked to you excessively about it, The Monson family of 5 are driving our van and 27’ camper from DFW to Anchorage on a long, slow, PTO vacation.   The Rig:

yes, that's a lot going on....

I’m guessing should be interesting to catch updates from time to time.  At the final destination- Anchorage will then sell the van, camper, canoe etc and all fly home (yep, slightly crazy I know!)!  We are meeting then traveling with my long known Hunting and Fishing buddy Shane and his family.   

Our first update:

Today we just got entered Colorado past Raton, and will be visiting a friend for lunch on our way through Denver.  Glacier Nat Park in Montana tomorrow night.  Blog updates should be filled with interesting updates like the one I sent to my manager Lamont this morning:
