Day 24: Home...

We left our little plastic motel room in Parowan at 6 am and took off down the I-15 for home.  Again we decided to add a few hours to our drive to avoid the Los Angeles area, so at Las Vegas we headed south on US 95 and made our way over back roads to El Centro.  There we picked up I-8 and zoomed home to Jamul.

Some of our route was new to us, especially the part from Blythe to Glamis to Brawley to El Centro.  About all I can say about that area is this: it makes Hanksville look attractive.  It's not likely we'll ever pass that way again.

We got home around 4:30 pm.  Dionecia B., our house-sitter, greeted us along with all our animals who stayed at home.  Miki and Race ran in to greet Dionecia, whom they know well.  She did a wonderfully good job taking care of the house and the animals, handling a couple of difficult situations exactly was we'd have wanted her to do.  Instead of being a mess, the house is as clean and neat as its ever been.  Dionecia even organized a closet whose floor and rear wall haven't seen light for ten years or so.  That's the way to come home!

Well, our vacation is officially over :(
