Kit and Carol on the Road

The last two days were unadventurous. Relatively. Almost all on freeway. Moderate traffic. Moderate weather. Stopped in Pendleton at a motel where we'd been before. Instead of dinner at the brewpub we had to do take out from Shari's. Now trying to reconstruct life in Lacey. 14 days isolation after we get food and mail. Kirsten and Eric brought us a lot of food but still things we need.

Forecast was for snow today. Didn't see much of the actual stuff falling from the sky but there was a trace by the roadside most of the way. Scenery was pretty awesome with snow on the mountains. It was dang cold though--luckily I had my puffy coat. Made sandwiches at a rest area--on the lee side of picnic shelter --but ate in the car.
Driving through Salt Lake is always a bear but at least we didn't have to get off the freeway here. Couldn't see the tabernacle--Kit says they're built up around it.
We knew exactly where we were going--a motel in the small temple town of Brigham City which is next to the police station. But with THREE GPS's and watching road signs we (I, the navigator) totally missed the exits for Brigham City so had to double back 16 miles (total) to find the town. Nice hotel--this one a Hampton Inn. Take away at a cafe not far down the street. Getting sick of take away sandwiches.

Awesome motel. Now we know where good gas station is and good motel. Revillee at 6:30 at Military base was cool. Easy on freeway. Trip through gorge along Virgin River was really awesome. Wish I had photos.

Like everyone else our entire world shut down. Our daughter urged us to stay in Arizona but Kit was crazy to get home. I had to do all the driving and it was fine until I hit one of those orange construction things and broke my side mirror. Then got to Las Vegas which is a horrid place to drive through with no place to stop and stretch. Got lost trying to find a gas station. Then lost again trying to find a motel. Have a nice motel. Called for take out at a nearby bbq. Our food is in San Jose. They have 4 restaurants and phone was for ca. Now I am waiting for food and listening to National Anthem. We are near a military base.
