Into Twin Falls

We made it to Twin Falls, Idaho at 8pm.  A long 11 hour day!!   Blue--young girl kitty--went bonkers about two hours out of Denver.  Caused a stink when Snowshoe tried to sit on my lap and she was already there.  Hiss & spits and flaying paws with claws exposed.  Poor Snowshoe got punched several times before I could get them separated.  Tracy pulled him off my lap and Blue huddled against the window hissing and spitting.  Finally had to put her in the traveling cage for the rest of the day.  She was still hissing and growling and spitting five hours later.  She is currently in the bathroom at the hotel so the other cats can roam free in the room.  Don't know what her problem is but she is way over the line.  We hope she straightens out after we get to the boat tomorrow afternoon.  We figure about another 10 hours to get there.  Of course, rain is forecast for the entire day as well as the rest of the week.  It's going to be fun to get the truck unloaded.  At least we have two days to get it done.

As we drove across Idaho, there were signs warning of dust storms. They didn't say anything about bug storms.  It was like small pellets of hail hitting the front and sides of the truck.  It went on for about two hundred miles.  The windshield was a mess when we got into Twin Falls.  I had to climb onto the hood to scrub and wipe the windshield clean.   Took three times to get it clean.  Not perfect, but much better.

We were driving thru Ogden, Utah at 5:30pm.  It was hard not to turn on the 24th St. exit to Shepherd's Bush.  Thank goodness they were closed.  One more thing and Tracy would have sunk the boat.

More tomorrow.
