Making our way back

ST. GEORGE, Utah — We stayed the night here to spend time with Cherie’s family, and we’re now making our way back to Hemet. It has been a great trip and we’re ready to return home.

As we’ve traveled south, we’ve noticed that gas prices are shooting up to the levels we had gotten used to in California. Here in St. George, the average gas price appears to be about $4.09, which I believe is the national average currently.
