Kazuo, Kyoko, Harry, Susan, Dave: ready to start our adventure.

Day 1 Posse Ride Eastern Campaign Monday June 13, 2005 From Bensenville, IL to Mt. Vernon, IL 368 miles Hot, in the 90's, sunny Kazuo and Kyoko arrived from Japan on Saturday. Sunday they visited friends in Chicago in the morning and in Milwaukee in the afternoon. Harold and I had been so busy through Saturday afternoon with work, that we could not join K&K on Sunday, we spent the whole day packing. Dave "Rain Man" Hansen, arrived first thing Monday morning. Now Dave has been doing all the planning on the trip to get us to Mobile, AL. Mapped out all the routes, booked all the hotels, organized everything. And Dave had emailed us on every arrangement. The only direction we gave was we did not want to do interstate and K&K wanted to stop in Little Rock, Arkansas to visit Tony & Barb.
