We made it in one day! The 12 hour drive wasn’t quite as bad with the help of a book on CD, lots of caffeine, and switching off driving.

| Our first rest stop going almost to Lake Tahoe. |
 |
| Still in California. |
I don’t know if I would want to do it again, but it was a fun experience. The only bad news is, that we have to drive BACK!
 |
| California VERSUS… |
 |
| Nevada Desert. What a contrast in scenery! |
Some things I learned about road tripping across a desert: Keep your deodorant in a cooler–it will melt! It’s not as barren as the movies make it out to be. I didn’t see any cactus. The rest areas are permanent port-o-potties with no running water–so bring lots of anti-bacterial hand cleanser!
Next up for today–I’m excited to do some thrifting and we are visiting with relatives. I hope I can find lots of new treasures for The Store!

| We finally made it to Utah at dusk! |
