Travel was steady and the roads were busy. At every gas stop, we saw groups of boys obviously heading the same way we were. Near Paragonah, traffic was nearly at a standstill. About a dozen cars ahead of us, a minivan caught fire.
Fortunately, it looked like all passengers were able to get out safely as we cautiously made our was passed.
As we neared St George, the sunset was amazing!
It kept getting deeper and more red as we traveled on. It was 4 1/2 hours from home to Mesquite and Curly had weigh-ins and a game to play at 9:00 PM.
Finally, we arrived. Curly had ridden down with his coach and he was waiting anxiously for us to check in. Most of the team was staying at the same hotel.
The game started at 10:00 PM Utah time, but none of our boys looked a bit tired.
They played well and won their first game! Oh, did I mention that Bossy and her kids were here too? Burrito was playing with his team as well, but their first game was not until Friday morning.
It was a great day for football and for us.

Oh, wow! If Puppy Lover really saw that burning minivan, she would have an extreme fear of driving for sure!
Don't show it to her!
