Day 1

Well...our first day was a little different than we thought! The pick up had a transfer case issue and we had to be towed 160 miles (this was even before we got to Vegas). So we spent a lovely extra 8 hours in St. George with Sandra (Glen's sister) and Rand (Glen's nephew), his wife Jenie and kids Tracen, Hailey, Alexa and Cameron. We were glad we had family there we could spend time with and they could take us out to lunch and cart us around (Thanks Rand!). The pickup was ready at 4 pm, we got to Vegas at 6, loaded up and left by 8. We again were fortunate to have some extra help in loading, thanks to Benn's family (Deborah, Jamie and Tom) and Glen's nephew Rand and family) See attached picture. When we left Vegas the temperature was a balmy 108 degrees! We drove and began to decide how far we wanted to go. So we were standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, such a fine site to see (tribute to the Eagles) and decided to stop at Holbrook Arizona. We got here at 1am and slept like rocks for 5 hours, got up at 6am. Just getting ready to eat breakfast, then we just can't wait to get on the road again (tribute to Willie Nelson). We are headed to Carlsbad, New Mexico to see the caverns.
