Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Posted June 26, 2020 Ahh yes. A marathon road trip during the pandemic apocalypse. But at the end is Dolores County with a total of Zero Covid cases.
Phantom Falcon, SASS # 46139 Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Bob, It seems kinda strange that Farmington has a cancer center and apparently Cortez does not. Is this really true? Best wishes and hope no hiccups on the trip. PF
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 Great news Bob. Safe Journey.
DocWard Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 Safe travels, I couldn't be happier for the two of you!

Nearest one in Colorado is Grand Junction, farther than Farmington.
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 Wonderful news! Have a safe trip back home.

Concur with distance to GJ vice Farmington. If I recall Farmington is no more than a couple of hours whereas GJ takes most of the day. Anyway, good to hear you can sleep in your own bed and conduct business closer to home. PF

Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Bob, have you called ahead and made your motel reservations?

Even got a free night at one place. Checked with the motels to see what their Covid restrictions. Should be no problem. The way Texas is looking, I’ll keep the pedal to the metal and windows rolled up when going through the Panhandle.
Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 29, 2020 Author Posted June 29, 2020 Made it to the Days Inn near Holliday, TN this afternoon. Kind of a middle of nowhere location. Motel is pretty much empty. Had to register at the night window because the lobby is closed. Stopped a few times on the way on I40. Only saw two folks besides us with masks on.

You staying on 40 all the way to ABQ? How's the traffic? Have a safe trip.
Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 Great news for you both ! Wagons Ho! Safe travels. Remember, not everyone with a MASK IS TRYING TO HOLD UP THE STAGE.
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 Bob, when you pass by Shawnee, Oklahoma, on I-40, you'll be passing the town of my nativity. Watch out for all those crazy Baptists there. Oklahoma Baptist University (OBU) is located in Shawnee. My dad was a student at OBU when I was born. Also Shawnee is the county seat of Pottowattamie County and in Shawnee is the Pottowattamie Tribal Headquarters. Tonto, the Lone Ranger's buddy, was a Pottowattamie. "Tonto. Isn't that the real Utah Bob of the Lazy Bob Ranch and is bride on Trail-40 there yonder?"
