Traveling South!!

11-26-09 - We left Kennewick, WA from the Toyota Center at 1PM on the 14th of November. Our Lynden Vollyball team played a game on Friday the 13th and didn't come out a winner. The team they lost to was Pullman who ended up being the Champ in 2A so since we played quite well and lost we still held our head high. That put us into the losers bracket on Sat. the 14th at 10:30 am. We played a team that we should have beat but again came up short. So that ended the stay of our Lynden Volleyball team. They had a good run for the year, with a new coach and new players still ended up 15-5 overall which is good.

So we head out and spent our first night at Ontario, OR Wal Mart parking lot. The weather was sunny the whole day to here and had a good night. Waking up in the morning with some fog and cool. Traveled all day on 1-84 through ID and into Ut. Then headed down on 1-15 toward Salt Lake. The weather was just great except we saw snow on all the mountains to our left as we traveled through the Salt Lake area and farther. We ended up stopping at a little town called Nephi which is a farming community. We stayed behind a old Gas Station and woke up in the morning to really cold weather. It was 28 degrees inside our motor home and 22 degrees outside.

We headed down the highway and just below Beaver, UT we turn off on Highway 20 which takes us to Hwy 89. The pass on 20 was dry and some snow at the top but not on the road. So we had clear driving down 89 towards Lake Powell and Page, AZ. Stopped in a little town on Hwy 89 for lunch at Panguitch Flying M Restaurant. The waitress said that they had a low of 9 degrees when she got up. Had a good lunch and were on our way.

Back on highway 89 to go and soon were coming to Lake Powell and stopped and took a few pictures at Glen Canyon Dam. The weather again this day was sunny all the way. So then stop in Page for some gas and are on our way. We travel on down to Flagstaff just as it is getting dark and then miss our Wal Mart parking lot to stay. So we head the rest of the way to Happy Trails which is on 1-17 with all it's hills and curves. We didn't have much traffic so made pretty good time and ended up at Happy Trails about 8:45 PM on the 16th of Nov. We got parked on our lot and were ready for bed. ( to be continued)
