Journey to South Carolina

It has been an adventure as we have traveled to South Carolina! We have been very blessed and know that we are supposed to be here, otherwise the adversary would not have worked so hard to discourage us in our travels. (3 posts - so as not to bore you all at once).

When we lived in Price, this was my favorite spot as a child as we journeyed between Price and Salt Lake. It's called Castle Gate. The right side used to look like the left side and it would look closed until you came to it, then it looked like it opened up then closed behind you after you went through. It's too bad it couldn't still be that way.

We left Saturday (Oct. 9) morning. The weather was beautiful, the scenery breathtaking. Our first stop was in Price, UT to visit family - Emma Lou & Sherald Law (for those who don't know, Emma Lou is Linda's aunt) and we also had the opportunity to visit Hans Miller (Linda's cousin/step-brother). We had a great visit and it was fun to drive around and see her childhood stomping grounds. Hans still lives in the family home.

The tunnel we are about to enter was at least 1/2 mile long.

Seemed to take forever to get through it.

Many times I've used the phrase, "I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel." Well, this is what it really looks like!

And this is what was on the other side. Notice the freeway -

the oncoming lane is on a different level. It made for some interesting scenery.

The first night was spent in Denver, CO. The motel was easily found, we just couldn't figure out where the entrance was. We went in circles on the freeway about 3 times and finally gave in to ask directions. The store clerk didn't speak English well, but luckily a customer helped us out.

Oops #1 - Jim has medicine that has to be refrigerated - not frozen. We've traveled with it before with no problems, and this was the first time written instructions were attached along with audible instructions. It was put in the freezer which makes the medicine unstable and cannot be used. (The retail price is over $1000.00 but hopefully have it worked out).
