I have awesome brothers and nephews

Right now, we are driving through Nampa, Idaho on our way to the Metz Family Reunion in Colorado. By "We," I mean Gordon, Ashton, Taylor, Adam, Madison, Victoria, Dimitri and myself. We are driving my parents' motorhome. Unfortunately, it has been having major over-heating issues. We had to creep along a good part of the day. We made it to Baker City, where several truck-repair shops and an auto-supply store where unable to help. At least, not until Tuesday.

Well, the guys refused to give up. We spent about 90 minutes in a parking lot making temporary repairs with a t-shirt and duct tape (what can't you do with duct tape?). It's amazing, really. We might just make it to Aztec tomorrow, even though it was looking like we wouldn't a few hours ago. I better post this before I lose this connection. More later.

Any updates from the family?

It would have been really nice to see all of the family but I couldn't travel until the second week of July. We'll have to take a "relatives" trip and visit everyone in their home states.
