Greetings fellow bears. Here in Arkansas, the north mountain part, old man winter is turning loose of his cold grip. So the Trail Manor/bear is fixing to come out of the cave/garage to look for food/fun.

I have convinced the chicken plant that they should let me have three of my four weeks of vacation benifit time off. What a fight.

The last three weeks of June our family plan this trip to California and back. Three weeks of adventure. Not to be undertakened by those of weak inner's.

This is our plan. Please give us your comments on road conditions, gas stations and places not to miss. Where have I figured wrongly? Great leaders are only great because of help from their freinds. I am asking for your knowledge in help in my planning.
