No one wanted to get up and face the reality of leaving Arizona. What a fantastic time we have had. How blessed we have been by this adventure! We are so very thankful. We had a very full morning of packing, loading & cleaning.... it took us longer than we thought (which is usually the case) and got out the door about 1pm. We went back to the post office and the line was still outrageous, but we stood in it anyway. We got the packages off (spent a small fortune on postage, lesson learned!) and finally began our trek about 1:45pm. It was 21 degrees and beautiful sunshine as we pulled out. We decided to drive up through Kingman and Las Vegas to Salt Lake City, Utah as we thought the roads would be better. David was disappointed not to drive up through Flagstaff and see some new sights, but he felt this was the safer route. The drive between Wickenburg and Kingman was very beautiful. We hadn’t been on this section of road before and it was very scenic. Lots of mountains, valleys and cactuses and there were thousands of Joshua trees at the higher elevations. We had never seen Joshua trees so densely populated. The roads were excellent all the way to Salt Lake City. All the mountains in Utah were covered with snow and the temperature was just above freezing as we unloaded the truck.
Goodbye shorts & flip-flops!
Joshua tree "forest".
We saw more of these 'stacked' rocks along the way.

Such beautiful mountain ranges.
