A Week of Adventure…

Last Friday, February 25th, we left Salt Lake City and flew to Grand Junction, Colorado to help with the Rasmussen family’s move to Winnemucca, Nevada.

We got there late in the afternoon and helped with packing the last of the truck.  There was still lots to pack and beings that it was late we stayed at a motel in Delta for the night. 

Early the next morning we got another U-Haul trailer and went back to the house and finished loading.  We left Cedaredge at 11:00, right on schedule according to Tony’s plans.  Tony drove the big truck pulling their camp trailer, Danielle drove the red pickup pulling her blue car and Dick drove the grey, mega cab dodge truck pulling the U-Haul trailer (he loves, loves that truck). We made it as far as Salt Lake City and stayed the night.                                          Our Caravan

Early Sunday morning we left Salt Lake and headed to our final destination of Winnemucca.  We crossed the salt flats and seen these sights…

We met Tony’s Mom, Louise, in Wells so she could take the dogs for a few weeks or until they are able to find a house to live in.  We had lunch then continued on our merry way . 

From Colorado to Winnemucca, this was the view that I got to enjoy….the back of a trailer going down the road, beautiful blue, blue skies and the beauty of this gorgeous world.

            

We had good company and lots of fun…

      

        

We finally arrived in the cute town of Winnemucca, unloaded the trailer, turned in all the vehicles and rested for a couple of days before coming home.  We only had one mishap in our travels and it was this one….

We came home on Wednesday and it sure is good to sleep in my own bed, have my own pillow and sit on my own toilet.

We gave Cody his quilt….

and I think he likes it a lot…

We had a fun week helping the Rasmussen family move.
