Las Vegas and Back in One Day

We were up early this morning.  We had breakfast and then began to load the tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, Topaz melons, and cucumbers. These are what we took to the post office a couple of weeks ago but is reprehensive of what went to Carol's sister and her husband in Las Vegas.

We were on the road at 7:10 this morning.  It rained all the way to Cedar City, there were scattered showers to Moapa.

I checked my phone to see how many bars that I had somewhere near Cove Fort and discovered that I had my old IPhone instead of my new Samsung phone.  We needed the phone to find our way to Anne's house.  The car was full of gas when we left.  We gassed up again in St George and took a bathroom break.

We had an idea how to get there.  There is an I-215 that goes west which puts us about a mile way from Anne and Fred's home.  We got on the right street made a left turn and were just blocks away.  We turned down every road except one.  We stopped at a Drug store with the address in hand and asked one of the employees.  He found the address on his phone, and should use where the store was and told us the way to get there.  I had him come outside and point.  He told us to go back of US highway 95.  We did that and drove all around that area.  We didn't find it.  We stopped of a an insurance agency.  The receptionist was very helpful. She found the address on her computer and then had the directions printed.  The directions were accurate but took us in an unusual way to get there.  She turned the paper over and hand wrote a new set of directions by looking at the computer monitor which were very easy to follow.  I think that we drove around the area for forty-five minutes from the start until we ended up on Crooker Shell Ave.

We unloaded all of the vegetables, visited about and hour then headed for home.

It rained or had been raining part of the way back.  We stopped in Mosquiete for a late lunch at a Mexican fast food place.  It was really good.  We were filled an still had half left.  We put what was left in our cooler.

It started raining again as we approached Cedar city.  We chased a rainbow from Cedar city until Paragonah.  I took several pictures through the window, and the one below is the best that I could get.

The was light rain and then heavy rain all the way to Cove Fort.  There is a new building on the west side of I-15 at the north Cove Fort exit.  One the way home we drove to see what it might be.  It a place where they sell tobacco.

We were home a little before seven.  We had been on the road for nearly twelve hours which included the short stay with Anne and Fred.

All in all it has been a successful day.
