Thanks all, once again, for your kind comments.
An update. We are home safe. When we got into cell service yesterday near Idaho Falls, the Lady's cell phone came alive with messages. Not a good sign.................................medical emergency with her elderly parents. Our plans changed and we hit the dreaded, but fast and efficient, interstates. Taku is correct. It was pouring rain in Wyoming, Idaho, and into Nevada. We spotted possible funnel cloud formation south of Twin Falls. It was raining so hard we got a motel room for some needed sleep. We left the rain this morning in Winnemucca and reached Roseville, CA just as her Mom was getting out of surgery. As I know many here are or have gone through the challenges of aging parents, life can get complicated in an instant.
So I apologize for the tease but I enjoy putting these trip stories together so I hope I don't leave you all hanging for too long.
