Thankfully, it's a fast moving storm and by the following day the Southern route has been opened up...whew! Glad we weren't there the day it hit! Reminded me of the big snow storm in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer....brrrrr! ⛄
The first section of our trip was from San Diego to Virgin River Campground in AZ; just this side of the Utah border. We've whizzed passed this one dozens of times on countless trips from Denver to San Diego; this time we decided to stay. It was our first time EVER going to a campground without reservations and our back-up was a Walmart parking lot 😛 I held my breath, David had peace, and thankfully we got there in time to snag a spot! It was peaceful and serene and a must needed breather after battling the freeways and a couple of near misses driving through Riverside...gheeze people, figure out if you want off at the next exit before it shows up!

| The spot itself wasn't anything to write home about but our canyon view was a.m.a.z.i.n.g!!! |

We both slept well, even with me still hacking my head off...grr...and woke afresh to tackle the day.
We have been using Young Living Essential Oils for around 4 years now and have never been to one of the farms. Since the Mona Lavender Farm was on the way, we decided it was a necessary stop on the trip. We learned A LOT which confirmed our love of this products and got to see the reason behind their Seed to Seal Guarantee.

The last stop on this portion is in a little RV Park in Provo, Utah-Lakeside RV Park. So cute, everything we need (even our forgotten mustard for our burgers!), and a very friendly staff. A great place for us to hunker down for the night and prepare for the longest section of our trip...From Provo to Yellowstone!
David just checked the website and the Southern entrance is still open and other bloggers I follow are showing dry roads with piled up snow. So thankful I brought my long-johns!!
Till we meet again!
