Day two of our journey

Left Haggerman and headed for Ely Nevada.  Mollie made reservations at the KOA for a Kabin.  The drive was good until mid way then construction with waits up to 20 minutes in 100 degree heat.  Thanks to our trusty subaru, the AC kept cooling and no over heating tho there was a good level of anxiousness in the cabin...

Arrived at Ely at 4 PM and checked in.  In my younger travel days, I would have just kept going and make it to Flagstaff but the day was done for both of us at 4, and glad to check into the KOA.  Mollie is a truper and still wants so much to be with me.  We are learning the fine art of leashing it every where and picking her up at every step  She cannot see so every thing becomes an obsticle.  Can't believe how our days are truly 9 - 10 ish to 3 or 4ish.  Mollie can't stand much more than that, and I honestly am with her.  Aging well is what we are learning together.  Dinner and an early start tomorrow for Knab UT

Learnings:
Today I struggled with a potential job opportunity presented before leaving on our trip.  Amazing what being back in the Nevada open skys can bring in clarity and perspective. 

Lodging comments: 
Ely KOA Kabins are great!  Bring your own linens, towels and such.  Very clean, the bathrooms / showers are clean.  Glad to be here and not the Motel 6.  Our Kabin was $55.00.

Day one of our journey... drove from Princeton Idaho to Hagerman Idaho and stayed at the Good Sam Kabins.  It was so hot from Weiser to Hagerman, 102 - 105 degrees.  Gads, I forgot how hot it can get.  Our trusty subaru kept pace tho with the AC on full blast and Mollie doing moderately ok.  Was thinking this was a bad idea to bring her in such heat.  We stopped alot, like a 2 hour toileting program for both of us.  We arrived at our Kabin in Haggerman wiped out and ready for some wine for me, dinner for both of us and much needed sleep. 

Lodging comments:  Haggerman Village RV with Kabins was a nice place, the Kabins were fine, and it was nice to be in an RV park and not the motel parking lot.  Kabins basic, #5 had its own shower and toilet for $50.00.  Mollie got a shower and was glad of it...I took two.

Saturday Breakfast Trip Planning

Today was trip planning breakfast with friends - where to go, how to pack and what elder doggy stuff to take.  My friends were helpful especially Mary who said "hey why don't you blog about your trip" and helped me set it up.  Still figuring out about picts, but that will get in.  Thanks for checking us out~  so, Mollie is my 11 year old border collie, the elder one and I feel a close second.  Mollie is diabetic, completely blind and still wants to go with "mom".  I figure this trip is our last one together and will make it a sentimental journey for the two of us.  My very super duper hubby gave me a new camera for my 54th BD, and will keep snapping along the way.  Thanks Phil:-)  One hopeful goal is to stay at Kabins, Cabins or some options other than motels - we shall see how it goes.

Will start our trip from Princeton Idaho, our destination is Prescott AZ.  We are all packed with elder doggy supplies, Kamp stuff and tons of the best road trip food ever.  Thanks to Mary and Barabara who sent me and Mollie off with a grand breakfast at the Wagon Wheel (Dale is an awesom cook!)
