All's Quiet on the Western Front
As I sat down to write, I thought over the events of the past week. So far (...I sit now for a few minutes trying to think...) we have done very little. We went to a mall, and walked around...we swam...and yeah...so, ummmm, thats about it. we spent a day with logan and heidyn at the gateway.

A couple days
We kinda got behind. Don't worry, we didn't die from that creepy woman at Pinewood Inn.
Captains Blog, Supplemental. Star date: 531201.0
The last three days of our voyage has been rather uneventful since our encounter with the unknown creature at the “Pinewood”. We arrived at the more habitable “Sleep Inn and Suites”. Upon our arrival we were greeted by Uncle Allen. That night we rested from the long trip and got up bright but not early and ate a hearty breakfast of waffles and cereal. We spent the remainder of the day visiting family and friends. We had a barbeque of sorts. We and a couple of our family and friends went back to the “Sleep Inn & Suites”. It’s been 14 hours from the time we escaped from “Pinewood Inn” till we came to the “Sleep Inn” and went swimming with our family and friends. After swimming, the teenagers returned to the room to play video games.
Since it would be too much work to write and put all the pics in order we are putting up some pictures we took along the way...
We left the hotel today. It wasn’t a hard transition, as the hotel wasn’t that great. But so far it hasn’t got any better, because today we have been driving through the heart of Kansas. The state basically consists of cows and fields. This truly might be hell on earth.
On the bright side, today is Sean’s birthday! We went and got an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. We then drove another 8ish hours to Colorado and went to another hotel. It is a nice little hotel. Right after checking in we went to a little bar and grill to eat. Mama Bolejack had salad, papa Bolejack had shrimp and pasta so did Sean. Chris had “the three amigos” (halibut, salmon and swordfish) Ben had chicken and pasta. It was all VERY good. We returned to the hotel and went to sleep for an early day tomorrow.
We are driving again. We are going all the way to Utah today. Woot!!
well we were gonna put a picture of the "Welcome to Utah" sign but it wont let us so... never mind :)
We finally made it to the hotel. It is really upscale. There is this 4 or 5 star restaurant in it, that we get to eat at for free! We had steak, chicken, salmon and lamb. Jamie has come to visit it several times. We are still exploring the hotel and still figuring out whats here.

Day: 1
After a couple hours of driving we got to our uncle Ronnie's gun and chainsaw shop. Look what we found!
After the chainsaw shop we went to eat a catfish dinner at Catfish Village. It was kind of bland, but the company was good. It was our aunt and uncle, great aunt and uncle, and three of our cousins.
We left the restaurant in high hopes, only to find ourselves in the worst situation possible.
This hotel is out in the middle of nowhere. It's conveniently called "The Thicket" by the locals because the woods are so dense with vines and trees. You can end up walking around in circles for days on end. The perfect spot for a murder style hotel. People check in, but never check out. To make matters worse, we have the freakiest hostess... We couldn't get a clear picture of her. She manages to escape every effort to capture her image.
That chill going down your spine is perfectly natural. We all felt it. She came in several times after we were let into our room to "check in" on us. She told us all about how the front door was not able to lock. If we lock it then we are locked in, until she comes for us... She gave us the grand tour of the hotel, and tried to get us into the hot tub. We're not going in there... We want to live.
This is probably the last time you will ever hear of the Bolejacks or Ben Sant ever again. I hope we leave on our own will and power tomorrow. If it ever comes.
Chris holding an AR. Maybe... Whatever it was it looked incredible.
Sean with a scoped rifle with a range of 1000 yards and a bi pod. If only I could get a ghillie suit and find a good hiding spot...
Ben likes a more direct approach. An AK-47 is his kind of gun.
