On The Move

Yesterday we completed our 4th and final journey between Texas and Utah pulling a Uhaul behind our Malibu. We took it slow this time and it was much more enjoyable. Monday afternoon we left Baytown and stayed that night with Mark's parents. Tuesday morning the real driving began. Ir rained much of the way to Dallas and began snowing just as we arrived there. We had a very enjoyable evening with the Ericksons despite the cold weather.
The next morning we left a dreary Dallas for sunny west Texas and New Mexico. We did not like the town that we decided to stop in. Santa Rosa is a very small town and the accommodations and food were not very good. Oh well.
We were concerned with weather now as all the forecasts showed a winter storm in the Four Corners area- our route for the next day. But Thursday there was little to no snow on the roads. In Colorado there were some icey towns that we passed though, but we made it safely to Moab Thursday night.
The forecasts also showed snow from Nephi to Provo all day Friday. We got up early to try to make it across the mountains before it started snowing up there, too. But after some fog and a light flurry in Green River, the sun came out and it was beautiful weather all the way to Provo.
We had a great time listening to a lecture series on Capitalism, singing songs, and watching the landscapes change. I don't think we will miss the drives too much though, and we are very glad to be done with the Uhauls.
