Well, I am now in Utah, what a great state. If you are interested in any kind of outdoor activity it's available here. I did some more mountain hiking. I found some real neat back country rural RV sites and made myself at home.
Great news!!!! With prodding from my family I swallow my male pride and call Carol. After many attempts she accepts my call. We talk for a long time and to my surprise Carol agrees to continue out trip. This is great I thought. One stipulation she say's....... I can't meet you until the28th . I said sure that is ok, what's up? I find out that her very big sister has already flown in to replace me. Together they will continue to travel our original route. Carol tells me they will end up in Phoenix, Arizona where she will put her sister on a flight back to Philadelphia. Carol agrees she would then fly to Salt Lake City, Utah to meet me and continue our trip. I ask her to consider this carefully. Once again I ask for her to be sure and to give me her word. In response Carol said to me " her word isn't good anymore" but she does not see any reason why she would change her mind. I said ok, see you on the28th.
Close to the 28th I receive an upbeat cell phone message from Carol. She says she has too much baggage to bring on the flight to Salt lake City, therefore she will need to ship a few things. Great I thought, here she comes.
The28th of September comes and goes .................. WITH NO CAROL. I went to the SLC airport and waited for all inbound flights to arrive. To my disappointment she does not show up. I try to call her but my calls are not answered. Soon her phone is turned off. I drive back to Park City very disappointed. Hey!......who is that in front of me on Route 80? It is a silver car just like Carol rented. It has Nevada plates on it like Carol's car. There is a blond woman driving it. I am happy again. Carol has driven all the way from Phoenix just to get us together again. She turns off the highway into town and parks her car. I pull up and park next to her. I get out and approach her car. I see a very surprised blond headed woman looking at me. She has a slightly fearful look on her face......... it isn't Carol?????? I am shocked and embarrassed, what a coincidence. Go ahead and laugh, I am as I write this to you.
A few days soon pass and I finally receive word from Carol. She sent me a very short "Text" message stating only "I WILL NOT CONTINUE". This is the last contact I have from Carol. I never hear from her again. What a sad way to end a relationship. There is nothing worse than loosing trust in someone who you truly believed in. I still believe in Carol, I guess she is right..... "I don't get it." As I said in the beginning of this blog I will "tell you no lies". More to come.
