All good things must come to an end. I left Bakersfield this AM and got as far as Beaver, UT. Good progress considering the time I left and a good place to call it quits for the night. Windy, snow, getting dark with conditions deteriorating rapidly. Got a room and am comfortably writing this with assistance from an adult beverage. Long drive but it went quickly as my mind was filled with what I experienced over the last several days. Lots of good information and ideas. Looking forward to getting home and putting some of it to use.
