October 13, 2014---Pahrump, Nevada to Cedar City, Utah


 
We had an hour visit with our friend, Jo, before she had somewhere to go, and so did we...Las Vegas!

Earlier in planning our possible routes to Colorado, we were going to stop in Vegas for several things...to eat lunch at in-N-Out, to get fuel at Sam’s Club, and find an Apple Store.  The first two we did, the last will have to wait for another city.


Because of our problems yesterday, we headed on north on I-15.  Both of us, however, feel much better today.  We got good nights sleep and are more philosophical about it all.  As usual, we are glad to be rolling down the road.

We crossed the northwest corner of Arizona and on in to Utah.  In our usual fashion, we did our state line celebration.  Bill loves honking the air horns and I will yell “yahoo” anytime I get the chance!

The drive today was much the same kind of terrain as yesterday, but this area has had rain...and floods...recently.  It was much, much greener.  When we passed the state line, the Interstate deteriorated, but not the greenness.

We went through a canyon and knew we were in Arizona...red cliffs, dropoffs...just like we see in the Westerns we watch.  I looked to see if Chief Lottabull was waiting to attack.  Then it dawned on me.  He’s sitting in the seat across from me, driving the motorhome.

We had planned to stay at the Elks Lodge in St. George, but we couldn’t find it.  It was an adventure, of sorts, but we finally found a roundabout and soon made our way back to I-15.  In Cedar City there was a Walmart that would let us park for the night.
