Journey day 4

I have met several people in Nevada and Utah, and Wyoming who are in those 3 states for the sole purpose of waiting out the Northern California wildfires. One was told he can go home, to his land, but that his house is gone.

One lady I met in Park City UT escaped the fires with her 3 daughters to Wyoming, and was in Utah on her way back to see her home.

I had forgotten how beautiful some of the scenery is between California and Wyoming. I did get kind of nervous about some of the hills, not wanting to overheat the car. But so far the car is performing like a champ. Gas prices ARE dropping the further east I go. I have seen it as low as 4.11. In Utah, I saw gas higher than California, and 4.17, all in the same town.

The focus of my posts are going to shift somewhat, from being homeless to "what's out there in the world" for travelers as well as anyone who has to move due to fires or home foreclosures. It is also going to cover what happens when a 56 yr old discovers renewed spirituality. This journey since the broken arm, though losing the home, and now leaving California has opened my eyes to a belief in God that for literally decades I had no faith in. I flatly denied he even existed. Now I know better.

I also want to thank the people who are following my story for their comments, good, and especially the bad ones, because it points out flaws in how I explain things.

It's bedtime!!
