Stella and Murphy know something is up: Mom and Dad are up early and carrying stuff out the door. The Stowaway2 cargo carrier is loaded on the back of the van - and stuff is in that pod...
I had backed the van in to get the pod mounted into the receiver hitch and then filled with all the stuff that was "test fit" over the last two days. Then, rotated the van again so we had close access to the slider door for the rest of the interior loading.
We are close.

We got out mid-morning. An ambitious first day plan: make it to the Route 66 Casino RV Park, just west of Albuquerque. Spoiler alert: it was a long driving day, but we made it. The details...
Murphy cried like a baby. For several hours. Stella stayed in her carrier and let out a peep. Murph has been through this before, so we knew what to expect with the "first day." Stella may turn out to be a good little traveler. But, as we settle in for the evening, she is back to her behavior when she first came to live with us: growling and hissing. But, during the drive, she was curious...
Joan took some photos while I was driving...
And, some scenery...
Crossing the state border...
I took some photos with my DJI Action 4...
I was looking forward to soaking in the hot tub at this RV park... nope, the hot tub is not currently working. Boo, hiss.

Wishing you and the kitties good travels. I hope they like road-tripping.
Poor kitty.... Duke had a very bad day yesterday - dental work. They cleaned his teeth and extracted three of them, so he was drugged up heavily. It lingers on, but he is getting back to normal this morning. His eyes are still dilated so he is staying indoors on this sunny day.
Aw, sorry to hear about Duke's dental issues. Glad to hear he is getting back to normal... if you or I had 3 teeth pulled, it would be a *long* time before getting back to anything resembling normal.
Stella hid for a while this morning, Murphy went to the driver's side door well for most of the trip. He ate fine, Stella not so much. The last half of the trip, Stella was on Joan's lap in her carrier. She slept peacefully - Stella, not Joan.
