Our route home took us down to Las Vegas where we caught Interstate 15 and headed north to Interstate 70. It should have been a nice, 80 mph jaunt with a stopover at the Super 8 in Richfield.
But it wasn’t.
Flash flooding around Cedar City closed the interstate and we became stuck in a long traffic jam. We were finally able to exit, turn around and head over the hills to U.S. 89, which we followed north to I-70 and our Super 8 lodging.
The next day, we continued east, dropping into Green River for gas…
…grub…
…and, of course, melons.
Our home in Fruita lay an uneventful 90 miles away.
