We found that if we drive down through Arizona to get to Utah, from Colorado, it's an easier trip. There's not the mountain roads with the 8 - 10% downhill grades.
By the time we stopped in Colorado for fuel and WalMart for water, then again in Arizona for more fuel, we didn't have time to find dinner. So we bough a couple of our TV dinners off the truck and had that for our other meal. Much better than nothing.
Our two hour sale became a four hour sale. We'll start later next time. They just straggled in.
After the first hour, we ran out of propane and there was no electricity available. So I had to do all the rest of the sales by hand. This is the first time that's happened to us. Everyone was so kind and patient with me.
We had time to visit with my cousins, Joyce and Joel and their family while we waited for customers. They are doing such a neat missionary work here with the Navajo Indians. We're always inspired after we've been with them.
Since we're staying in motels, we drove on to Blanding for the night. The one motel in Monument Valley in UP a narrow dirt road that semi would never fit on. The trip was about two hours. We'll figure out something different next time. The road is two lane, has 8 to 10% grades (with curves at the bottom) and it was dark. And it was at the end of an already long day.
After we got here, I had to enter all the sales we had tonight and cash-up. It's almost midnight now.
