8/31 at 8:22 p.m. Arrival in Kingman, AZ

Update from Alan:

We made it to Kingman Arizona safe and sound.  Nice and cool AC and the evening air is rather nice over the recycled air of the vehicles.

8/31 Heading out

Photos tell the story of this morning's on-time departure @ 8:25 a.m.  Final packing, greetings, lots of pillows, coffee, bananas, breakfast bars, prayers, and excitement.

8/30 Packing Day

Empty vans...

Packing the luggage carriers

Packing day - attach luggage tags, place your soft-sided bags here, bags with frames there, and pile sleeping stuff in the third group.  Load the luggage carriers and carry them to the church office for safe keeping overnight.  Finally carry the rest of the bags to the back of waiting vans until everything is loaded.  The students were awesome and in under an hour everything was packed.

Loading the vans

Done!
