MT. HOME!

We finally pulled into MT. Home AFB yesterday afternoon! We left Texas on the 2nd of July and drove to Carlsbad NM. The next day we went to the caves and explored for the entire morning. Even then we left a lot unseen. It was really fun! That cave was HUGE! I don't think we even saw half of it. After that we were trying to make it all the way to Shiprock, NM that day, but the black car broke down around Albuquerque. We found a mechanic who was willing to work on it the next day (the 4th of July. So at about noon on the 4th we took off only to break down again about 100 miles away. We got towed back to a town called Grants where we found another gracious mechanic who worked on the car on the 5th. Meanwhile we spent the 4th at a casino in the middle of nowhere, NM with a spectacular fireworks display. THere was also a band that was really loud. The fireworks really were some of the best I've ever seen. The 5th we made it up to Provo and spent the night with Tyson, Janae and baby Reid. It was fun to see them. We went to church with them and then zipped up to Logan to see Micheal and Sarah. We stayed there for a few days and let the kids play. It was a lot of fun. Then we finally made our way to Mt. Home. I have to say especially on the drive out to base it really appears to be the land Desolation. There is No visible life on that fifteen minute drive. Not even sagebrush, really just a bunch of dried up cheat grass. Ahhh, home sweet home!
