Moving Truck Incident: Kingman Arizona to Bellevue Nebraska

 July 2025. I had the worse luck with the moving truck which cost us some money and some time.  First I bonked the house backing up to get close.  It made a dent in the stucco we had someone fix for us.  Then I missed a turn and in following the Siri map it had me on a dirt road to get back, but it had been raining and the road was muddy so I became stuck.  This required a big towing truck to get us out.  Fortunately we had paid the extra insurance, but it did cost us a couple hours,  When we traveled the next time with the truck Anthony drove for us.

Beautiful Bountiful, Utah Temple

 Bountiful Temple is high on the hill, on the Bountiful east bench and can be seen from most of the valley north of Salt Lake.  It does have a Moroni.  It is a larger temple at 104,000 square feet.  It is also very tall at 176 feet.
