Grand and Glorious surreal views of majestic mountains passed in picturesque procession as I traversed the distance from a little piece of Norway (YWAM Montana) to the metropolis on the shores of the Puget sound. An Owl City song I have come to like (introduced to me by a dear friend) is quite appropriate: Hello Seattle
The Miracle of America Museum
Situated quaintly the small town of Polson Montana is one man's lifetime collection of American history: The Miracle of America Museum.
A $5 admission fee opens the door to one of the most massive and complete collections of American culture I have ever seen.
First Stage
Huston we have a liftoff! I blasted off from home Friday morning at 9 am in my Mercury Sable Capsule, to which I have given the name "Freedom 7" after Allen Shepard's Spacecraft of 1961 (first American in Space).
God gave me smooth sailing all the way to Lakeside Montana! On the way I got hit by flying ice chunks off of a truck, saw a coyote, some VERY FAT mule deer, an elk and a bald eagle! Staying at the Youth With A Mission training base here where my buddy Karl is going to school.

When I strap my helmet on I'll be long gone
Praise to God Most High! Recently God provided a scrap job that has given me the funds I need to take this trip! Now it is just the weather, hehe as is usual here in good old South Dakota. Though it looks like I am not going to escape the cold! My friends in San Diego have been scraping frost off their windshields in the mornings lately!
The next couple days will be filled with tuning a piano, a little more work on the car, last guitar lessons and then packing! Tools, wood violin, clothes, food, BOOKS!!! for once in my life i am excited about reading !
The title line is form a song I like that almost prophetically describes this trip :)

The Red Ball Express Heads West
For all those friends of mine who want to keep up with me on my trip out west this winter, I am going to post updates here. :)
Plans are moving ahead for my Dec 2 departure date, but a slight obstacle has come up. It is the little matter of nickels and dimes :P ... so basically at this point in time I dont have the money I need to buy gas the whole way and food too. :S
But i am trusting God for His direction and provision, if He wants me to go then money will be no object! :)
Stay tunes for photos videos and more!
