Hmmmm what now
I've not blogged our adventures in 8 months....How do I start again considering so much (or so little) has happened?

Headed Home
Time to head home, but I'm pretty sure since gas is 2.10 a gallon it would be cheaper to charter our own 777.....Even scarier than the price of gas is the fact that no one is behind the wheel right now, it's in drive and I'm running behind trying to catch up!

Hootie's Sleepy Cat Face
This was one time I got a close up of his huge cat face. He looks kinda sleepy because he just scarfed a handful of fresh Tillamook cheese kurds. He's ready for a nap.

The Cat Turban
This is Spookamo after crawling under one of the sleeping bags for a cat nap. Most of the night he wandered around the Buda Bus looking for bugs and interesting things to attack. Every 3-4 hours he would walk across my head to get in side Mrs Dirtbagger's sleeping bag.
What are you all doing up there?
The crew poses for a picture as Kuri looks on wondering what in the hell are we doing...Good question, wish I had an answer.
She's only got 1 piece, this time!
Reese cramming cheese in her mouth as fast as she can. I was able to slow her down for one picture!

Not much of a dog, eh?
This is a Skeeter, aka Brown Baby, aka Skid Row, aka Skid Mark riding in a back pack. I mean she only weighs about 6 lbs.....She almost will fit in your front pants pocket.
Cat in a Bag
This is Hootie Dootie, aka Dorkmier, aka Jabba the Butt, aka Sphincter Boy, aka Mo sleeping quietly INSIDE the sleeping bag!

At the campsite
Hangin' out. Notice the diversity of clothing. Mrs Dirtbagger is wearing EVERYTHING she owns, including rubber boots, I've got clearly more appropriate footware, going with a traditional Teva sandle for the wet mushy Oregon coast.
Nice weather, TODAY
I think this is the ONLY picure of blue sky we got the entire 10 days we were there.

Enough
OK, so we've just spent several days unpacking. What a drag. We were able to haul a load to the dump and a load to goodwill, however we've still got tons of new house projects. Instead, I think we'll go on another vacation. This time, the Oregon Coast with my Sis and her clan!

Move Day!
Moving crew quote: Man, your pets have alot of possessions." Put in more simple terms, Jesus H, you guys have a lot of crap. Sad thing was, it took 2 trucks to haul our stuff to Spokaloo. Once we get the new house set up, it's time for a garage sale and a little EBay time!

Is it a Chevy El Camino or Ford Ranchero?
....It's a Japanese version of both. The new tow vehicle to pull behind the Buda bus, a Subaru Buda Baja (except it came from Bellevue WA, not Buda TX)

Day 20 - The 10 miles per gallon bus
The Buda bus parked @ Mom's house. Damned good thing she's got a HUGE driveway!

Our last day, headed to Eastern Washington to drop off the Buda Bus and head home to Western Washington.

Holy Shit!
So this is a pic I found on the intenet with some additional information.
Our Lady of the Rockies is a 90-foot statue sitting atop the Continental Divide located on the East Ridge of Butte off of I-15. Our Lady of the Rockies is the end result of a dream and six years work. A seemingly impossible task was completed by countless volunteers on December 20, 1985 when ‘Our Lady” was placed on the East Ridge overlooking Butte, Montana.
The statue, lighted and visible at night, is a spectacular sight to see. To give you an idea of the dimensions; Our Lady is 90 feet high, 48 feet wide (from fingertip to fingertip), and weighs 51 tons. The overall statistics are: the head (16 feet high by 10 feet wide), eyes (2 feet), nose (4 feet), nose (4 feet), lips (3 feet), hands (8 feet) fingers (3 1/2 feet to 5 feet), and the base (32 feet by 34 feet).
And I thought Oprah was a whole lotta lovin.
Downtown Butte, what a hoot
A view of Butte. Ever been there? Don't worry you didn't miss much. However 10 minutes later, I view one of the most bizzare things I've ever seen. I kept seeing this white thing high on the ridge above Butte. As I view through the binocs, I say out loud "Jesus H. Christ."
Later we go back to the campground and ask a local. "Who is that on the ridge? Is it Mary or Jesus?" The response was "Neither, that is our lady of the Rockies....." OK, I give up, WHO IS our lady of the rockies...Our lady of the rockies....Hmmmm. I don't get it.
Later research determines it's Mother Mary of God, of course...I mean of who else would you build a 90 foot statue? It is wrong to expect the locals to know about a 90 foot statue outside their hometown?
Historical Butte Montana
Historic Butte Montana, where they found first gold, then silver, then copper. Too bad they didn't find anything to keep this little po-dunk town alive 100 years later. Little did I soon discover there was something grand looming on the horizon.....
