We spent the morning on the 150 mile trip to Boulder City. Boulder City and ST. George are at about the same elevation. However, the road between then transitions fro 1600 to 2500 ft. at least twice. Even at that we got 13.4 mpg.
Yesterday I read on a plaque that Jedidiah Smith went down the Virgin River (along I-15) once, and then went out of his way to avoid it a second time. I can see why. Back in those days it would have been so rough as to be almost impassable. Walking along the rocky, twisting river bed would have been about the only way.
After we got set up in Boulder we went over to Fiocchi. Jackie was the only one there. We talked with her for awhile. Then we fueled up, got a new TV cable ($32 !), and another dowel to prop up the bed. Then we took the dog swimming. The place was open (the Republicans caved), and it was free. The dog had a great time doing water retrieves for an hour.
After that we took the dog home and went back to Fiocchi to see Dee. We talked with her for awhile and made a date to go shooting on Sat. Then we went over to a casino. We played a couple of machines for an hour and broke even.
Then it was home because Ellen needed to dial into a board meeting. Apparently it went well. The judge read Ted the riot act. Apparently his use of an executive meeting is questionable and his use of an out of state attorney is illegal. I wish I'd been there.
