Family & Friends, 

Hallelujah  . . . we were actually able to travel an entire day today without any major incidents or set backs!!!!  We covered about 600 miles today and tonight we are in Tooele, Utah (west of Salt Lake City).  We have approximately 860 miles left to go.  According to Google Maps, this should take us about 14 more hours of driving time.  I’m not sure we can make all that tomorrow (especially with the uphill climb out of Reno), but were going to give a try! 

Wish us luck! 

Glen & Rob

Glen Allan Clark: In bed at 12:30 AM then up by 4:45 AM – Here we go again! The puppies are holding up, but they are pretty tired of this routine (too)!

Glen Allan ClarkThanks for your kind thoughts! 

The story isn’t over yet. We still need to unpack and all that entails. 

We’ll also need to get the other truck (24’) unloaded (if and when it shows up). We’re told this bigger truck won’t fit up the winding tree-covered dive way. So don’t worry there are still challenges ahead for us. We’re not done yet folks! . .  . 

We’ll provide photos and more as soon as we figure out how to get a real internet connection (and not just from a cell phone). 

Stay tuned . . .  

John – Geez, will this never end?!? How about this…park the big truck at the bottom of the driveway, go to Home Depot and hire some help and form a human chain and pass your stuff hand-to-hand to the house. Send Ryder an invoice. Desperate times need desperate actions. 

Deb – Great…glad you are safe and sound. What an ordeal!

Nine days, eleven states, and several “disasters” later . . . I don’t think I’ve ever looked forward so much to being able to say  . . .  “We’re Home!”
