We left on schedule (1/4) in light snow and near freezing temperatures. We met dense fog until after Sprague. From there it was smooth sailing, including bare, wet, and warm conditions over Deadman Pass. After almost ten hours we arrived in Filer safely where we spent two days with friends Tom and Patty Losser. We also visited the Hooleys after church on Sunday where we were treated to a simple delicious lunch and very good conversation. Monday morning we drove another eight hours to Las Vegas. We met with several more patches of dense fog and some snow on the road around Jackpot, NV. Once we reached Ely, the road became bare and dry, the sky lightened up, and by the time we sighted Las Vegas, the sun was out. We stayed the night in Henderson. Tuesday, we made the eight hour drive to Tucson in warm, clear weather. The drive was easy. After arriving safely, we unpacked, washed the road muck off the car, and generally counted our blessings. In total, we drove about twenty-four hours. Herbie Joe, our car, performed well and we managed to stay in our lane. We're grateful for traveling mercies, and have determined once again that life is good, especially today.
The first evening view in Tucson this year.
