Jan 2nd

We were in bed early, so got a good start, well almost. When we got in last night I filled the car with gas & washed it. The problem was the wash, once I opened the drivers door, it would not latch again. Tried everything, even driving & holding it, not something I recomend. The least bit of right hand turn and the door wants to fly open. I hoped the motion sensor that locks the door would latch it, don't try this kids. Finally after sitting with the heater on high it suddenly latched. Happy day. Had breakfast in the hotel & it was great. Note to all travellers on I-15, if you see those free magazines in the rest stops, take one. The hotel deals are fabulous. Another guest was right next to Marg when she checked in with the coupon & with their AMA discount, they still paid $20 more than us. On the road around 7:30AM. I was pretty chilly in the AM: 14F or about minus 8C. Roads were dry & clear, used the cruise control almost all the way, except in the construction zones. That is basically half the way through Salt Lake City. Must have been lots of people with the day of in-place of New Years day as traffic was as light as we have ever seen it. The weather got warmer with each passing mile. Stopped in Nephi for lunch & had a nice salad. We find it helps to eat light when we are sitting in the car all day. When we came out of the restaraunt, 2 mexican women asked Marg for directions to New Mexico, a place we have never been. Her response was - ask my husband, he does all the navigating. As it turns out all they wanted to know was whether to turn left or right to get on the freeway. Pretty adventurous pair as they still had to cross through Colorado to get where they wanted to go. Could not believe the number of speeders on the section of highway that is posted 80 mph, I think we saw 3 or 4 pulled over by the highway patrol. Like how fast do you need to go, who do they think they are, Bill? LOL Got in to St George around 3:00PM [800 kms]. Got the motorhome all flushed out and things packed away in pretty good time. Pretty uneventful, other than it is very dusty. We rented a site of tonight, so will leave for AJ in the morning. Went to Cracker Barrel for dinner & it was very good. Marg went in the store part while we were waiting for our dinner and came out with a shopping bag full of Christmas stuff, like ornaments. After supper to Walmart for groceries, but never saw any of those people in the emails that go around. It just occurs to me that if you don't see any of those people you might be them, gee, I sure hope not. LOL Will try & lighten it up with some pictures tomorrow.
