Day 84...On the way home

Can you see the buildings way at the bottom of the valley?

 Going down..  we were at 6000 feet.

 

                                We seen so many of the white flowers  on the side of the road
                 but had no idea what they were.  I was so surprised to find out it
                 was just a thistle.   Never seen one bloom like this.

                                                   Close up of the thistle flower.

  Keep in mind that I took these with only my little cell phone camera and threw the
     windshield...  a dirty one too.

Wow..  what a day..   After such a full day yesterday I still didn't sleep well.  But I never do before a trip.   Up early again  this morning - 6:00.   Mel unhooked the gas, water, & electricity.  
My back was so sore I could hardly walk.  I did get the final few things done and we were on our way by 7:30.  Just a half hour later than planned.
We had breakfast at Koffa and then we were on our way.

The scenery was so pretty with the blossoms in the desert and soon into the hills.
By the time we got to  the wind picked up and soon was blowing really hard.
It was a cross wind so it was hard driving.   But after checking our fuel mileage we were pleased..   We were getting between 33 and 34 mpg.  Going 70 with the AC on, in the wind.

I could hardly breath in the wind when we would stop at rest areas.   
Glad I didn't spend much time with my hair this morning.

It cooled down pretty good at the higher elevation.   Had to put my sweat shirt on.

We has supper at the Golden Coral and to our room by 8.

I better get to bed.  My head is still on Brenda time and  it is Mountain savings time.  And hour later.  We will lose another hour tomorrow.

Molly has been a good girl.   She does like to travel.

Good night and God Bless
