Sighting - where have all the Blue Birds gone?

[mikebulriss]

Having covered 11 states and 3,050 miles so far since June 27, we have to ask (with apologies to Peter, Paul and Mary I think it was), but where have all the Blue Birds gone? Not a long time passing, but no time passing.

So far, we have spotted a grand total of 1 (probably 88 or 89, silver and black) headed opposite us, going east on 70, while east of Frederick, MD. We waved, but saw no response. Maybe with our bright green color they mistook us for SOB!

I know that our Birds are a rare breed, but we usually see more than one in that amount of traveling.

Even so, we are so blessed to be temporary caretakers of these wonderful machines. In the past 7 days alone, two current park residents have stopped by to compliment us on our 'beautiful rig'. One asked if he could sketch it and then he hung around the opposite side of the roadway doing just that. Never saw the final result though.

Enjoying the highways and byways while headed back south..... and enjoying the best fuel mileage ever!
