Are we bad parents? We took the doctors advice and went on our grand adventure. I am a little shocked we are actually doing this. My oldest baby basset’s pneumonia is a very slight case, and the medicine is working great. The cough is still horrible, but he seems perky. Yesterday we left our house around 3pm and headed north on highway 101. Hubby took the first shift and got us to Willits, home of the Skunk Train. No time for that though. We needed to get to our first destination, Scotia. We are in the Avenue of the Giants. My gosh! The view while driving up was absolutely breathtaking. The redwoods are are so big you feel like a little bug scurrying on the forest floor. Except I was in a big motorhome towing a car. Surprisingly I did this with ease through the tight curvy roads. Unfortunately I drove right past a view roadside attractions I would have loved to visit. Turning around is not really an option. I gotta figure out how to catch those a bit better. Today we are heading up to Brookings Oregon. I am hoping to visit Harris Beach, Azelea park, Chetco Point Park, and Brookings Harbor. Oh my gosh. I might be biting off more than I can chew. Let’s just play it by ear.

Wagons Westward
by W.R. Benton
Genre: Literature & Fiction
FREE for a limited time
Teen newlyweds, Josh and Naomi Braxton, were hopeful, but anxious about the arduous westward journey. The lure of claiming raw lands in Montana through the Homestead Act proved too appealing to pass up on. It offered the brave teens an opportunity to begin their wedded life anew with the chance to build a farm and provide a good life for their future children.
Of course the pair realized it would be a several months of long, rough wagon roads and backbreaking labor just to reach their new frontier home and each day of that journey they would confront new challenges and dangers. The harsh, unforgiving landscape would be filled with treacherous streams to ford and mountains the wagons would struggle to climb, not too mention poisonous snakes that could strike at any moment. And always lurking at the back of their minds was the too real possibility of a deadly Indian attack.
Understanding the risk, they placed their fate, and lives, in the hands of a skilled Wagon Master named Hawkins. Their grizzled leader inspired their confidence with his tales of his past trips. The sheer number of the successful wagon trains he bragged about, made everyone in the small party assured of the journey.
When a group of freed slaves are caught trying to steal food from the wagon train’s supplies, instead of punishing them, Josh decides to to grant them leniency. After learning that the group also hopes to build a new life out west, the teens agree to team up. With many miles left to go, the new friends embark westward… into the unknown.
