We're seeing a good number of ladies wearing long skirts and a hat that looks kind of like a yamaka(spelling?)
Are these folks Amish, Mennonite... what? I'm too shy to ask them and don't want to offend.

Still no word on when our stuff will arrive. We had to visit the local laundry mat today as our dirty clothes were beginning to pile up.
I haven't been to a laundry since the summer I spent at our family farm in Oklahoma. I used my trusty WonderWash at the farm house but on one occasion I took the whole pile of laundry to a coin operated place and knocked it all out in a few hours.
Prior to that it was way back in college {1990, 1991) that I frequented the local laundry facilities in our apartment complex. It was MUCH cheaper back then.
I'm posting this from my phone while waiting on the laundry but when I get back to the house, I'll try to edit this post and add some lovely pictures of the adventure.

Had to take Lucky to the veterinarian today. He had two spots of blood on his head right where his ears meet his head. There was also a spot of blood on his throat. I had inspected those areas to look for ticks or any other causes for bleeding but found nothing.
He recently visited a veterinarian 2 weeks ago and was put on steroids for his limping right hind leg and antibiotics for an ear infection and skin infection. He has completed his medications but appears to still have an ear infection. He is no longer limping (yay!).
Update: he has been given a shot of anti-inflammatory medicine and they said it will last in his body for up to 4 weeks. This will hopefully stop him from shaking his head back and forth causing his ears to whip against his skin. This whipping made small tears on the tip of his ears and the blood was leaving spots on his head and neck (long ears).
Also giving him oral antibiotics to continue to treat ear infection. He'll get an ear cleaning next Tuesday.
$98 later and he is back home now. Along the way, the Volvo broke down. All it needed was a jump start and we're back up and running. Now i'm off to buy a new car battery.

Around 8pm, we rolled into our new driveway. I have plenty to share but the 2-day drive has zapped me.
More to follow. Thanks for the well wishes!

PS., Internet doesn't get turned on until Tuesday. No pictures until then.

Made it to Panguitch , Utah. One hotel left with vacancy. $157 for two room (sleeping 9)...not bad. Vehicles holding up. Kids too.
7 more hours of driving tomorrow to complete our trek from Arizona to our hidey-hole in Idey-ho. (nod to JWR)

I can't post pictures from my phone but trust me when I say THE STUPID TRAILER TIRE IS SHREDDED. We are just north of the Utah border on US89.
No spare, rim damaged and roadside assistance 45 minutes out. Mr Glock is now chambered just in case we get an unwanted visitor out here in the dark.
Thank goodness for mobile dvd players...

A blowout with no spare in the middle of nowhere is exactly the kind of thing you can plan around ahead of time. Keeping a proper trailer spare tire and mount on hand means a blowout costs you twenty minutes instead of a tow truck bill, a tire pressure monitoring system warns you before a tire fails instead of after, and a compact trailer jack makes the actual roadside swap far easier than fighting with a factory jack. Cheap insurance compared to being stranded on US-89 after dark.

Quick post from the road. Trying to leave yesterday and for the first time in over a year we had 13 inches of snow in Flagstaff. So we were stuck after we had already put all of our belongings including our beds and food from the cabinets into the moving trailer. The only people that have a key to the locks on the moving trailer was the moving company. So we had no access to all things.
We stayed the night with a neighbour and left the next day. We got about an hour or two west of flagstaff and found out the hard way that Interstate 40 was completely shut down. We tried an alternate route using route 66 and it was also completely shut down west bound. I had to turn around and retrace my tracks. We lost 3 hours-ish.
I'm happy to report that we are at Lake Powell and stopping for a bite to eat. It remains to be seen if we can make this in one trip or if we will have to stay the night and start again tomorrow.
We are 9 hours from our destination. Both vehicles are running fine. I had to leave Old Blue and the Jeep Cherokee in Flagstaff for a later date. We are towing Jack, Sister's Volvo.
