Finally have a minute to update, as Deb is driving right now.
We left Gillette at 5:40, and drove to Ft.Collins to spend the night with the Blum family....I think we rolled in the around 9:30. Visited some, and then hit the 'sack'!
I was up at 5:00 and started loading the things that Judi and Andrew had. Some more boxes of clothes and 17 gallons of paint.
We were back on the road around 6:15 AM. Had some hiccups with the pickup before Denver, Deb prayed for mechanical wholeness and bound satan from attacking us......we continued on! Another little incident at Pueblo, and with some doubt, we thought maybe it would be a good idea to find a dealership. Amazingly we found NO Chevrolet outlet anywhere so we took our 2nd choice....Faith.....and kept driving. Isn't is something, that we can pray for something, and then not believe it! Why is so hard to just take that small mustard seed of faith, and proceed as planned......Lesson learned for today. We are going thru Albuquerque, NM and have only strong winds buffeting us around and no more problems with the 'Chev'. Thank you all covering us with your prayers.
I wanted to also give a little background on our day of preparation preceding our evening departure. Ed had called Wednesday night, and the NM title office would not accept the WY title. Seems that the VIN was in fact a motor number, so they would not give Ed a NM title. I headed in to Gillette's courthouse early in the morning, and took until 11:00 to get it straightened out. The Kissack's were in Iowa, and no way to go back through them, so I just so found someone to sell the 4-wheeler to me with an affidavit, and then got the title put in my name. Any other way would have required signatures from Ed.....with no time to do it. This will work out all the same, we were just trying to save one step in the process. Took the rest of the afternoon, getting ready and loading the trailer.
We are driving through a terrible sand storm right now, like a fog in places, not being able to see ahead very far at all.
3 PM now, and ETA at the Capps of 6:30. Getting closer.........
