Bruce's MCACN pictures-LOTS to view!
 

Lynn, Holly and I decided to do a "road trip" to Chicago this year for MCACN-as Holly had only seen the western and midwest states by air. We had a great time driving and seeing the sites, too. We put over 4000 miles on the KIA Soul-and when we were only 2 hours into our trip, we HIT a huge raccoon which damaged the front of the Kia. Racers tape to the rescue, until we could get to Chicago and utilize the MCACN "raccoon repair kit" (zip ties, etc) :)

We also narrowly escaped being involved in a collision in Texas on the way back-on highway 40 a young lady driving in front of us fell asleep while driving. I witnessed the whole accident as she drifted into the median at 90mph. then over corrected to get back on the road lost control and flipped the car three times in the air and landed on its side.

I thought for sure as I approached the car that she wasn't alive. She climbed out of the drivers window and four dogs started to run, so we gathered up all the dogs except for one which ran across the highway...nowhere to be found. Thank God for wrap around air bags...the lady and the dogs will be alright.

We also visited the Oklahoma Memorial on the way back home. It was a very humbling experience...

This will be the first part of the pictures-I will do the rest over the weekend, as time permits. There will be close to 300 pics in this group.
