Left Cedar City about 7:30 after having breaky, got gas and headed out towards Vegas. Not a cloud in the sky…. But -3C. Got capris on with sunglasses ready to put on. Woohoo!!!  The closer we get to Vegas the lower the temp. But…
3C and rising at turnoff to Hurricane and Zion and the sunglasses are on.
Starting to see red rock in the hills.  Beautiful views through Virgin River Canyon south of St. George.  Stopped into Mesquite for pit stop and picked up a 12 pk of Chelatas for $12.96. About 1/2 the price that it is at home.
17C at Searchlight. Getting warmer all the time. Oh shit it just went up another 2 degrees.
22C at Needles. 24C at Blythe. Arrived at Wellton about 4pm in 26 degree weather. Put some stuff away, cleaned up some of the sand that had infiltrated the park model belonging to Lou. She  turned on the power, water, put the golf cart on a charge and did all those other things that have to be rehooked up. We had a little help from our 2 favourite old guys… Bud and John, then went for burgers and wine at John’s place.  I’m bagged. Going to bed. We cannot post cuz we don’t have Internet until Dec. 3rd unless we go to someone’s place that has it. Sorry.   Ps. Linda the trains have not stopped running.

Left Helena MT at 7:30. They are expecting 8-10 inches later tonight. Little skiffs of snow as we left. But is now 1C and slushy. An hour down the road it is almost whiteout. Not going to make very good time today. Down to 70-90 kms/ hr. Thank goodness to clear roads south of Butte. Oops spoke too soon.
2 hours south of Helena it’s no more snow, except on them thar hills and the sun is almost out and we are back up to 120kms. Yes!!!  I wonder how far we will make it today?  Had to get the sunglasses out at Dillon…..and they came off again. Pretty much the rest of the drive south of Salt Lake though was clear with blue skies….just in time for the sun to go down.  Tomorrow, we can tell,….it will be capris and sandal although it is friggin’ freezing right now.  Stopped for the night at Cedar City at about 6:45.MST.

I flew out of Victoria in slight drizzle this morning …..right on time…. 20 minutes late.
It was really quite a bumpy ride right from the get go ….all the way to Calgary. Haven’t even been able to get up to go to the bathroom or get the regular free snacks and water.
Heading south just after 12 noon.  Border crossed at Coutts AB 4pm. Stopped for night in Helena about 8 pm.

Just so that everyone that tries this blog out reaches it, I guess I need to put something here.

I am so excited.  I fly to Calgary tomorrow morning.  My friend Louise will be picking me up at the airport, then we will drive south….destination Wellton, Arizona.

I pray that the roads are free of snow for the drive down.

Hugs……Gail
