Amarillo and almost home

I sure wish I could bring all this rain we have been through the last three days home with me. Lots of HEAVY rain and thunder and lightening and even a soft almost twister today which shook the car and scared me a bit. We should be home tomorrow no problem. That will be good because Joe really needs to get onto a routine

So going back a couple of days. We went through the nasty dusty plains south of Salt Lake City where we went through some heavy dust storms with wild tumble weeds rollicking across the highway. We got hit by a few of them. It is a good thing they were small Utah ones, about 2-4 feet, and not the big Idaho ones. As it was we have some big gouges on our windows from them hitting us. After we got onto Highway 70, as I said, things got real pretty. The driving still sucked with tons of road construction to slow us down, intermittent rain and lightening storms and lots of rough road with fast high way speeds but other than that it was wonderful. Her are a few pictures to give you some idea. You really cannot capture it on camera but we tried.

These first two are coming into the mountains at this point we were already saying... wow, pretty.







Then we just said WOW













Yup, that's Brenna out on those rocks

 I believe this is Navaho country, or Arapaho. Its Indian any how

Joe of course stayed up above but he at least was able to get out of the car and look at the magnificence.



 I had a couple of videos also of this area but when I tried to put them in the blog they really made it load extreemly slow. I will post them to facebook later.

This is how a great deal of the drive looked through Utah along 70

 Isn't this wild? No, that is not snow, it is bare rock... Pretty cool. God is so creative. Our souls have been so filled with the beauty He spreads around us.

Today we saw dear and antelope and prairie dogs but never got the cameras out fast enough.

So here it is 11:20 pm and we have a long drive ahead of us tomorrow so I will finish later.

Love

Teri
