July 19, 2013. 8 PM MDT Today was a catch-up day. Did laundry, cleaned car, which was very dirty after being in a rain storm. Those wire-spoked wheels are not fun to clean.

He was worried about us making it to Kanab and looked on several of the motel parking lots hoping to see our car. The ... read more
