This image is from the Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada not too far from Las Vegas. A remarkable place. We did not have enough time here and not having the trailer meant we were 90 minutes away so it was not as easy to be here at the right time of day. This was close to sunset and the colors really pop. The bends in the rock of the various strata of color are magical. My photos do not do them justice. That is one reason why even after a year I have not posted any of these before but I will get a few done this spring.

Speaking of spring we hope now to be in Hohenwald mid-day on Tuesday to get the Oliver. The elusive part has journeyed from the factory to Baton Rouge - where it apparently was held captive by pirates, released to Nashville on Saturday and to a distribution center close to Hohenwald on Sunday. We plan to leave here once the repair folks tell us it is installed and working. So likely Monday. Our first part and last part of the trip is set but we are holding off on the middle cause we may need adjustments if things do not all work correctly in the trailer. More on this Tomorrow. Meanwhile, if we are on schedule, I will be at a motel on Monday night somewhere in TN and will be able to watch the BB game. Go Team!

After six days in transit as of 8:10 CDT the package is out for delivery, FedEx “setting new standards for the word ‘Overnight.’”
