The beginning

The school year has ended and I have been in front of my computer planning my route to follow the footsteps of my great grandfather on my father's side, John O'Donnell. The journey will take me into: Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and then back to California. I hope to imagine what it was like for my great grandfather, however, the modern day conveniences will fog my thinking, I am sure. I hope that this will be something that I can share with my daughters and my brothers and that, perhaps, they will drop into this blog and see what is happening.
