July 9
We left Gulf Shores Mon morning and began the journey home. We traveled through Alabama, Mississippi, touched Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and now Utah. The roads good. The speed limit high and scenery diverse as we traveled Mon-Wed. Today we went through Colorado and Utah on Hwy 50 and I-70 and the scenery was nothing short of spectacular. The mountains and the colors of the rocks. Changing vegetation from shrub to pine trees. Each of the parks we stayed in were good. Last night was Coaldale, Co and we woke to low 50 degree temps.Arrived today in Delta, Ut and it was 95 when we got here.
Deb took lots of photos but the camera doesn't do justice to the views the eye can see. Tomorrow we cross the loneliest hwy, Hwy 50 across Nevada where we will stop one more night  before finishing the drive home Sat. Anticipate an early afternoon arrival at Casa de Hubbard in Clearlake Oaks.

June 27 Sat was intended to be a relaxing day. Deb and Roz went for an early morning walk on the beach.  Bob went to play golf with a really good friend of many years. I got cleaned up in anticipation of a day by the pool. We had access to one of the many premier condo complexes pools with a lazy river flowing around it.  Bob's son works for Phoenix which owns about 25 condo complexes in the area and is able to provide access to the best amenities. This is one of the more modern ones and adjoins the water with boat docks and lifts for the owners. The afternoon was spent lounging in my brothers condo as the humidity really takes it out of you. June 28 The area is packed with what we hope is more weekenders than people here for the whole week. Going to make today another lazy day. A good breakfast and a little golf on tv. Then we decided on a trip to Culver's for an ice cream treat. After dinner we went to the complex next door where my brother has another smaller unit for a bag...

It has been 19 months and 2 tax seasons since Deb and I  have ventured away with the trailer. The decision to go was almost spur of the moment, my brother thought it would be nice to see us and they had come here most recently. The trip was planned within a 30 day time frame and the decision to depart June 19 was to not miss any Hospice meetings. The morning of the 19th came and we departed promptly at 6:11 am and got 40 miles down the road when I remembered I had not closed the garage door. Fortunately a friend had an opener as was kind enough to save me from turning around. The goal the first day was Newberry Springs, CA just east of Barstow. We cruised smoothly through Sacramento and we were just north of Bakersfield at lunch time and stopped in a neat little city park in Oildale where we snacked on egg salad and watermelon. Back on the road we easily made Newberry Springs about 3:30 where we stopped for the night at Newberry Mountain RV Park. Really clean park with reasonable f...
