SATURDAY / WASTED TRIP TO CEDAR CITY

SATURDAY 
6-24-2023
 
 
 
Up at 6AM. I got up to potty and then dressed. I went to the kitchen to make lattes. 
 
Hubby was already up and had let the dogs outside. He fed them. 
 
We sat around for a while until 9AM to watch TV. Hubby said there was no hurry as D&P Performance Motorsports in Cedar City were open until 5PM on Saturday and he had talked to Jeremiah "Miah" there. 

So we got ready and packed a backpack with food. Loaded the dogs into the Dually. Drove to Jose's lock up yard and picked up the trailer. Drove to the shop and loaded the UTV that we were delivering to D&P for service.

We drove the old highway to Beaver Dam and got on the I-15 there. But it was not backed up at all. Some idiot in a Tesla trying to force Hubby's truck off the road when we tried to merge. ASSHOLE.

Drove to Cedar City and then took the by-pass road Highway 7 around St George to avoid the traffic. We were listening to a Podcast - Behind the Bastards on the radio. 

At Hurricane, we stopped at the park there to walk the dogs. Gave them water. They drank LOTS of water. We both used the public restroom in the park. 

There was a music festival/craft show/open market in the park next door. 

Then we loaded the dogs up in the Dually and drove on.
 
Hubby went into the Davis Grocery store in La Verkin to pick up some food. He was hungry. He got a chocolate chip cookie that was delicious, some Salted Nut Roll candy bars, and a Teriyaki bowl from their deli. I waited in the A/C truck with the dogs

We then drove on thru Toquerville and got on the I-15. Drove thru to Cedar City where we got off the exit and parked on a side street next to D&P Motorsports. It was odd because the gate was closed. Hubby got out of the truck and walked around. THEY WERE CLOSED AT 1PM. Only today as there was a note in the door. OMG. Fuck this.

Hubby was upset and tried to figure out a way to somehow leave the UTV there, but we did not know anybody in Cedar City.

We decided to drag the stupid UTV with us up to the mountains. We took the Webster Cut Off trail again and looked for a place to walk the dogs.

We found a road, but it dead ended at a private camp where somebody had set up a rustic camp site for hunting? So we got back into the Dually and drove down the road. It got narrower and narrower until Hubby finally found a place to turn around.

On the way back some guy and his kid had blocked the road to let their two German Shepherds out to run. We had to wait until they got them back into the truck.

Hubby drove down a side road for Deer Haven (tent only) Campground. He parked the truck while we waited to go find out if we could camp there in the future.

Then we drove back out on the road and back to Cedar City.
 
Hubby tried to find a storage place to drop off the UTV, but the one we found was closed on Saturdays. FUCK THIS STUPID CITY!
 
There was another festival in the middle of town as we drove thru. We found a nice park to walk the dogs and give them water, but then some idiot had to bring his un-leashed dog to play there and we had to leave.
 
Stopped at Arby's going out of town and got some Arby's beef sandwiches with cheese for the dogs. They were happy to eat them.  

Hubby stopped at a gas station on the side of the Interstate before leaving town and got Diesel fuel. The inside store was closed for 15 minutes??? so Hubby could not use the restroom there. 

We drove all the way thru to Mesquite. Got home at 4PM. 

Unloaded the dogs. I hurt all over again. Put everything away and unloaded the truck. Left the truck/trailer in the front street. 

I was beat. Sat on the sofa all night. 

Dogs went to bed at 10PM. Hubby stayed up and went to bed later. I slept on the sofa all night.
