July 14
This was the last of our hard-driving days. After a make-your-own-waffles breakfast at the Best Western in Price, Utah, we crossed Utah's Wasach Mountain Range on Highway 6, and rejoined the Interstate Highway System at I-15N. After a flying glance at Salt Lake City, we headed west on I-80 past the Great Salt Lake and the Bonneville Salt Flats and into Nevada. We stopped for gas in Wendover, and again in Lovelock, the childhood home of family friend George Loorz, and reached the home of Hilary and Jack Vonich in Reno at six. Hilary was a friend and neighbor of ours in Oakland, and we all served on the First Covenant Church Urban Outreach ministry team the summer of 1985. We had a chance to speak to the Vonich's Bible Study group that evening, and our kids instantly befriended their kids, Paden and Cate.
Our Journey
On June 15 we left Moscow, Russia after 10 years here as a family and returned to California overland. Traveling with 3 kids by train, boat and car through Europe, across the Atlantic and then across the US may not be your idea of a relaxing summer vacation. It was not ours either, but it was the trip of a lifetime!
