We took the long way home along 395. It is so beautiful especially when we got into California. When we got to Lee Vining the gas was $4.00 a gallon, needless to say we didn't stop there to fill up. Our new truck has perform perfectly and the gas miles was 22 miles per hour which isn't bad for a big truck. We stopped off at Topaz Lake for dinner. It was beautiful. I think most of the time I talk about restaurants, but sometimes that is the highlight of the day, especially going thru Arizona and Nevada. I am not a desert person and love my California. Arrived home at 10:00 and the house was so clean, thanks to Nicole and Jeff.
Our total trip was over 7,000 miles. Would I do it again, probably not but so glad I did. I have only 5 states in the US that I have not been to: Alaska, North Dakota, Michigan, Connecticut, and Louisiana. For future travel my idea is to fly to destination, rent a car and see the area more closely. Hope I have not bored everyone to death. Will post pictures soon.

Day 24 6/29/19 -Las Vegas to Home
Left Las Vegas around 9:00 and took our time returning home. We took the long way home stopping off in Tonapah. Mom's sister (which she never knew) is buried there in Tonapah. I found the grave right away as I have been there before. I felt a connection to this little girl and don't know why. As I was walking to the truck there was a bouquet of silk red roses just lying on the dirt with no graves there, so I did a thing my mother would have also done, I put the flowers on Andja's grave. Don't know how long it will stay there as the wind was really blowing. There was a vase with faded flowers there but these looked so good.
We went over to the recorder's office to see if I could get a copy of her birth/death certificate. The dates I have do not match as to what was on the headstone. Close but not correct. I know this happens all the time and wanted to see if I could get some help since I was in the area. Talked to a nice girl in the office and she said I needed to go to the state and obtain the records.
We were going to stop off at Yosemite, but since we didn't have any reservations and the 4th of July week was coming up we figured it wouldn't
