Thank you all for praying for us. The prayers mean so much. We were leaving town at 1:40pm and had to stop for a very long train on the South Side Bypass. We were both wondering if this was the beginning of many delays - but not the case.
Entered California at 2:18. Entered Nevada at 4:16. We had rain off and on the entire way but nothing serious. The wind was very strong coming from the west--so we weren't driving into it. Near Empire Nevada there was a lot of gypsum dust blowing across the road and down a valley. We were thankful for our $4.45 gas at home when we saw $6.09 in Alturas California.
The route we took was beautiful--mountains, valleys, some green fields--much vastness.
Very good day 1.
