Leaving Vegas

Well the time has come to leave Vegas. It is really difficult to believe that we have been here a whole month! We said goodbye to Tripp and Dana, smothered Willie in snuggles and kisses  and headed out. We have allotted over 3 weeks for the return trip home to include a lot of sightseeing, so we have done a lot of study over which route to take. We really wanted to see Zion Park so we decided to head the 2 hour trip north and then angle our way back down to take I-40 east to avoid the ice and snow up North.
To precious for words

Mommy love

I just can't get enough of this bundle of joy!

I-15 North here we go!

Are those storm clouds ahead?
 Looks like the front I had checked out so carefully was dipping further south than predicted. As we started to climb the RV began to act a little sluggish. At first we weren't sure about what was going on since we really hadn't had to make any steep climbs like these on the way out to Vegas. Soon it was obvious there was a problem. Freddie could not get the RV to accelerate past 45 even when we weren't climbing. A Walmart was only a couple of miles ahead in Cedar City so we limped along to park there and access our situation. Freddie was pretty sure that the problem was a clogged fuel filter so we searched and found "Amen Diesel" only a couple of miles down the road. Since it was late by then we camped at Walmart ( We have utilized Walmart, after asking permission at each happily during our whole trip.)  and call Amen first thing in the morning.
AND SURPRISE! SNOW! OFF and On all night!

yep gotta clean the windows before we leave.

That was not there the day before.

Almost looks like a frozen manger scene.

Amen Diesel we love you! even got a spare to take with us.Fixed her right up!

Now on to Zion!
