ROAD TRIP TO CEDAR CITY, UTAH

We’re on the road to Cedar City now, it’s about 4PM. Just heard the Dutch team made the Finals.

Got up at 8:30 this morning. First stopped at the Riverside Post Office to pick up the mail for the corps. During tour the corps has about 8 mail stops that parents and friends can send stuff to for their kids in the corps. We were totally surprised the lady said there was NOTHING there. Unusual,… because there is ALWAYS mail for members!

Headed to the RV place to exchange the motorhome, but our new one hadn’t come back yet, so a stop at Wal-Mart was a warm welcome!! By noon we went back to pick up the motorhome. It’s HUGE !!! It’s a 35’ (10.5m) Pursuit. That will be fun driving it later today!



Oh, we headed back to the post office in Riverside, because we both thought it was impossible there was no ail for the corps. So I called, and got the supervisor on the phone: “Yeah there’s tons of stuff for you guys waiting here for you!” When I talked to the lady she said: “Well your friend gave me his ID, so I looked under his name...”. She hadn’t listened to what we said… That’s for sure!

We stopped on the way for lunch at In-‘n-Out Burger. Good burgers there!!
The first half of the trip it was time for me to upload last night’s photos to the laptop. I will send them to the BD website tonight, so they will probably be posted later tonight or tomorrow. Check out the Blue Devils MEDIABOX page if you get a chance. Cool stuff!



The road to Cedar City was absolutely spectacular! Especially the second half which I drove. We drove right through Las Vegas! That would have been nice to make a quick stop there! Oh well… some other time!
We got to Cedar City at about 10PM. The corps was to leave for Utah at 11. Perfect timing.

I put my stuff on the Nest - our support staff vehicle, which used to be the fancy rockstar bus the instructional staff used last few seasons. By the way… all corps vehicles have a name, including the memberbuses (the ’04, the Hound and the Funliner). The Nest stands for “Non Essential Staff Transportation”. This bus has 17 bunks to sleep in. Oh,.. I wrote that before, right?

Enjoy,
