Thanks, All! Good additions, Mr. Gidley! Will be adding those post-haste. (Mo will be belting out John Denver in the next day or so, no doubt.)

Glad to hear 19th is quiet, Tom and Joan.

It is so quiet here on 19th Ave in Wildwood, NJ. Nevertheless, we are so happy for you to be able to do your trip across country. Keep us updated and we will continue to check your site. Nice pictures!
Have a safe and enjoyable journey! Tom and Joan Kramer

“…because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes ‘Awww!’”
– On the Road
Jack Kerouac

Hey! That’s funny you should mention family crests…the Gidley family crest features the two urchins from Dickens’ “Christmas Carol,” Ignorance and Want. Our motto is “Are there no prisons? No workhouses????!!!”

Some additions to the song list:

Route 66 – Nat King Cole…A good place to get your kicks, Radio City Music Hall not withstanding.

Going to California – Led Zep…Jimmy and Bobby get all boozy and acoustic (“la,la,la,la……”)

Rocky Mountain High – John Denver…Play it loud and continuous, grow your own in the back of a van, qualify for state assistance in Colorado!

Until we meet again, vaya con Dios!

Hi Cawley Clan!
Col showed me your website when we were at the shore and just checking in to see how you were all doing! What a great idea to journal as well. So jealous, would love to go cross country. Everyone looks so happy! Looking forward to hearing about your adventures, thanks for keeping us posted. I just showed Chris your website and he said to mark it in our favorites (which I already did) but he just loved it as well! Take care and have a blast! The Gidley clan
