Yesterday Mike arrived at 10 and he and John proceeded to load the rest of our furniture. I was sure it would not all fit, which angered John. He said I had no faith in him. Our plan was to leave between 1-2. By 1:00 we decided I'd head out and he would follow. Audrey freaked when she got in the carrier, first mewing plaintively then clawing and screaming. Walter took everything in stride. Audrey settled down after about an hour. I stopped in Bakersfield and Walter got to sniff and pee.
I loved seeing the windmills and thought, even on your worst day there is someting wonderful to notice.
Got to Barstow about 6:30 and it took a half hour to unload - set up the litter box, etc. Audrey at first would not come out of the carrier. I finally pulled her out and she hid as far as she could under the sink. Would not even eat tuna. Found that she'd peeded in the carrier.
Just then John called. He was still in Coarsegold!
The plan is for him to get up early and drive all the way to Tucson. It will take me about 8 hours - him 14? I have no idea.
This a.m. took Walter to wild open desert next to the hotel to sniff and do his business. Audrey finally visited me in the night several times, curiously sniffing. Hardly slept. The bank of air conditioners right outside my window.
Better eat and hit the road.
