OK.&nbsp; However, I ran out of time to get the bus ready for that leg of the trip.&nbsp; Plan B was to drive the bus to Prescott but I still did not have time to get it ready.&nbsp; So, we went with plan C which was to drive the Camry.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tI left Evergreen Friday 5\/10.&nbsp; In the old days I might had driven straight through to Prescott (650 miles and over 9 hours).&nbsp; However, I have a ton of Holiday Inn points, so I stopped in Kearney, NE for the night.&nbsp; That made the drive fun and much easier on this tired old body.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSadly we have not been back here for over two years.&nbsp; We have really missed all of the great folks and have been doing our best to visit with as many relatives as possible.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe weather started out cold and damp, but it got up to 90* on Thursday.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWe left Prescott Friday morning around 7:30.&nbsp; We hit some rain early in the day, but that cleared up fairly quickly.&nbsp; Our trip home was fairly uneventful till we hit Fort Morgan.&nbsp; As we passed the water treatment plant a huge ground fog crossed the highway.&nbsp; As soon as we entered the fog, it turned pitch black and we could not see even a few feet in front to the car.&nbsp; Fortunately the cars in front of us kept going and the car behind us slowed down with us.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWhen we got home, we saw that there were several tornados in the area but the Fort Morgan event was not reported as a tornado.&nbsp; We did not see any signs of the really bad weather thank goodness.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThat is all for this trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello from Prescott, IA Drafted Thursday evening &nbsp;&ndash; May 16 2019&nbsp;&nbsp; (First post of this travelogue) Published Saturday evening &ndash; May 18, 2019 This has been a bit of a strange trip.&nbsp; On Tuesday (5\/17\/19) I drove Pat and her &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/beltguy.com\/Travelogue\/?p=1161\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beltguy.com\/Travelogue\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beltguy.com\/Travelogue\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beltguy.com\/Travelogue\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beltguy.com\/Travelogue\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beltguy.com\/Travelogue\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1161"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/beltguy.com\/Travelogue\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1161\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1162,"href":"https:\/\/beltguy.com\/Travelogue\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1161\/revisions\/1162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beltguy.com\/Travelogue\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beltguy.com\/Travelogue\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beltguy.com\/Travelogue\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
