| Heading out . . |
aaaahhh - we made it from the farm just ahead of the Alberta Clipper! We had to deliver some books for Santuari Hospice - The trip to Lethbridge was uneventful, and we managed to get up on Monday morning and finish what we needed to do in Canada (banking and post office!) and headed south. One thing to warn people of . . . since July, you are NOT allowed to bring whole tomatoes into the U.S. - who knew? We had to give up one whole tomato - I guess it could be worse! Anyway, we now know - and warn all others - DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TAKE A WHOLE TOMATO across the border (cut it up, if you must, that is OK ????)
I think in my past life - or maybe in my next life - I should be an geologist. The rock formations in Southern Montana and Idaho are just amazing - I just can't say enough about that kind of stuff! Of course, I have no pictures because it would just be a big blurrrrrr taken from a truck doing 65 MPH . . . We made it to Idaho Falls second night and woke up to lots of rockin' and rollin' on Tuesday morning with wind (signs of the Alberta Clipper!). We perservered through the winds, the construction and heavy freeway traffic in Salt Lake City and then next thing we knew, we were back in the land of the red rock - spent two nights in St. George.
Red rock, white steeples on every corner, and two liquor stores (for a city of about 100,000 - what's up with that!) . .

Kipper had a great time at the reservoir lake!; 
The next day we had a L-o-n-g day to Casa Grande - and took the scenic route around the new bridge at the Hoover Dam (thanks Phil). What a beautiful drive - again, my geology spirit was awakened. Then . . .
we hit Phoenix at 5 pm - rush hour in a big, big city.

aaarrggghhh . . . give me the Red Rock!!!
but . . . here we are - +75 today in Casa Grande and just getting a lot of last minute things done before heading over the border to Mexico on Tuesday. Kipper is doing very well - on the long days he is on medication (gravol) . . . hmmm, maybe I should think about that!

Hello, good to see you made it through before the snow!!
We have friends who are now in Tucson and looking for someone to drive to Lo de Marcos with them. If I give you their email address could you possibly contact them and let them know what you are doing re coming down to Lo de Marcos?
They are Vic and Bev Whitmore. They wintered here in Savage and have driven from Ontario to Arizona this season. Their email address is bev_whitmore at hotmail.com. I put in the "at" so no one can just clik and reach them. I think they are waiting to hear if anyone is going through Nogales and maybe you could hook up with them? Anyway, it's worth a try.
