September 3

Today officially ended our trip. We started early again and drove straight through from Salmon to Leslie and Matt’s home in Idaho Falls, arriving shortly after noon. We spent until about five PM visiting with Les, playing with the boys and helping with their computer. We then drove to Pocatello to see Lance and Aubri and baby Taylor. We visited, played with Taylor and helped with wiring a light switch. We then went to the Gardner’s to chew the fat and got a tour of their new motor home. Wow is it nice! We then returned to our home to find all well and that Lance has done a wonderful job of caring for our home and property. We appreciate him very much! As mentioned earlier we logged 3669 miles on the way up and we have now logged 3291 miles on the return trip in the motor home. In addition Gene and I have logged just under 3000 miles each on our cars for shared rides. Thus we have each traveled very nearly 13,000 miles overall for our trip. We love all of you who have followed and supported us on this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
