Starting Over

(side note right off the bat....restarting my blog on this site...the last website, I think, went belly up)

Welcome

I have to tell you the truth, I don't have much of a clue of what I am doing, but I am going to give it a shot and see where it goes.

I suppose you want to know why I even started this blog. I do have a couple of reasons, but I guess we should start from the beginning. 

Been divorced since 2009. I have five kids. At the time of the divorce, only two kids were still in school (Hailey and Faith). My pattern for vacations was always kid centered. Time off in the Summer to go camping. Time off in the Winter to spend an extra day or two with the girls during the their Winter break.

Fast forward to 2015. My oldest son, David, asked me not too long ago, "If you took a vacation for yourself, what would you do?"

I drew a blank. I had no idea what to do if I had extended time off for myself. So I thought about it for a while...which can cause all sorts of problems. 

The only thing that popped into my head and seemed interesting to me was to explore the Historic Route 66. 

Not only explore Route 66, but also geocache Route 66.

Not only explore and geocache the Historic Route 66, but record it and share it with you. Don't you feel special now?

Recording my travels on Route 66 and sharing it with you shouldn't be all that hard of a task in itself, but like many goals and journeys, there are hurdles. Some are natural hurdles and some are self imposed hurdles. It's the self imposed one I also want to blog about.

I also remember a quote from a motivational speaker that said, "If a life is worth living, it's worth recording."

This blog is going to be a way to record a bit of my life and I am leaving it open for others to freely read. Perhaps I may inspire someone to make a change in their life as well. Maybe, this will be plain entertaining. Hopefully, it'll be fun for all of us.

Welcome and thanks for joining me.
