Krohn Road Trip...and all nighter!! Days 40-41

April 12, 2010
Modesto, CA-Grass Valley, CA-Rawlins, WY

We left Barry and Barb's house and headed a bit further North to Grass Valley, CA to meet up with a friend of mine, and former Gymnastics/Tumbling Coach.  She was my coach when I was 5yo, and it's amazing that 33 years later we are back in touch and she is one of our supporters on the mission field!!  It was SO incredible to see what Cheryl does, she has such an incredible ministry and is obviously doing a great job with the girls that live in her home.  We spent the evening telling her small group about our ministry in Peru, it was a good time of fellowship and we felt very loved and appreciated.

After leaving Cheryl's house, with chains that someone lent us-it was raining at their house and this particular gentlemen knew we would be going over the pass between Truckee, CA and Nevada and might need chains, we headed out around 9pm to drive all night to get to Wyoming.


We didn't make it far, Jeff was exhausted and ended up falling asleep around midnght at a rest area.  The rest area was basically a hole in the ground with a door.  Needless to say, I didn't go to the bathroom all night long!!  Jeff slept until around 3am and we started driving again.  He pulled over around 6am and I started driving.  We finally made it to Rawlins, WY (where my grandmother lives) that afternoon...it was a long trip!
