Turning East

Saturday we reached another major milestone in the MegaTransect as we departed Seattle and began the long journey east towards Boston. We enjoyed a good-weather day getting out of Seattle, but ran into unexpected rain on the desert side of the mountains. On the plus side, that means Washington's eastern desert is all in bloom and looking quite spectacular.
This week we're staying put in Kennewick, WA. We've enjoyed catching up with many of our friends and supporters at Westside Church in Richland, WA, and are looking forward to making more connections over this coming week. The advantage to staying put for a few extra days is that we're more available and flexible for everyone's busy schedules, and get to spend more face time with everyone who wants to see us.
The extra time we've got right now makes us feel like the journey is beginning to wind down. In fact, we've got almost the entire USA to drive across before we're completely finished, with two more major stops along the way. We will return to Fort Wayne next week, though, and that will pretty much be the end of the MegaTransect in terms of visits and speaking engagements. So the end is nigh!
