Our final day of travel was upon us.  Today we will be in Nephi and Kay's journey home will have ended and ours will continue.
But First......we had to find the damn cats.  Neither one of them would come in last night so we let them stay out and this morning it is proving to be a not so very wise decision as they are nowhere to be seen.  They are definitely NOT on the gas tank as we had hoped and they are not coming when they are called.  They do not even respond to Kay's whistles - and they ALWAYS come to the whistles!!  Oh Sweet Jesus, we have lost the bloody cats and I am dying a thousand deaths thinking how they will never survive out here in this harsh environment without water!!
I went over to a nearby trailer and asked if they had seen two cats and no, they hadn't.  This is not good.   Kay and I looked for about an hour before Kay finally crossed the highway and called and whistled for them and out pops Mowgli from a culvert where apparently the two of them had spent the night!!  The little buggers had crossed the highway during the night and now that daylight had arrived, the traffic had increased and I imagine they were too scared to cross back over.  Anyway, the lost had been found and both Kay and I were breathing a sigh of relief and thanking the Lord above!!
With the lost being found, we finished the packing up process and headed down the road.
It was an uneventful trip except for one thing.  Scotty was in the neighbourhood and we actually managed to meet up with him at the Flying J in Scipio, Utah for a short visit.   I got several "Scotty" hugs and John even got one!!  LOL  We caught up on some of the news from back home then he had to head off down the road and we did tool
We arrived in Nephi in good time and an hour or so later, the trailer was set up and Kay's new campfire site was in full swing.   The stinking wind was blowing and there was rain in the air but that did not stop us from enjoying the evening.   It was so good to have this first leg of our journey over with and the cats home safe and sound.  Those two, by the way were very busy exploring their environment and I swear, they remembered where they were as they were anything but shy when it came to familiarizing themselves again.   Life is Good.....
