The Journey to the Journey's Start

Sunday, April 24th

It feels as though we've been in preparation-mode for months.  Looking back, I guess we have.  We made innumerable to-do lists, checklists, shopping lists and have completed all but the 'last minute' list which can't be tackled until tomorrow morning.  Everything (that is, everything we've thought of) has been packed, stowed, cleaned, gotten rid of, mowed, painted, gassed up or otherwise attended to. 

The house is ready!  The RV is ready!  The Jeep is ready!  Not sure I'm ready, though   I'm excited  about being in Utah but apprehensive about getting to Utah--tornadoes and flooding in the midwest, snow and freezing night-time temperatures in Bryce and the price of fuel all present elements of uncertainty and concern.

The plan is to leave  tomorrow at 8 AM and spend the night west of Nashville, TN, about 390 miles for the day.  We have our fingers crossed for calm weather and light traffic.
