Road Trippin' Across Arizona

Well... it was time to start movin' north... that "Closing" is fast approaching and we still have some chores to get done at the house...

so... North we rolled

We cut off I-17 at Camp Verde to run op NE across the state on the two lane... along the General Crook Trail for a ways. THIS is the Arizona I knew as a kid... not the one that lives down there in Phoenix and Tucson, buried under asphalt and concrete...

To me Tucson has become just another dirty city... and a grubby one at that... too bad... it used to have a personality...

Aw well... there's still a few hundred thousand square miles of open, Far Country, the makes up the huge majority of the state... to feed the soul with!...

Once we got up on top of the rim, the Mogollon Rim, (Pronounced "Muggy - Owen) the snow got pretty deep off the sides... That's the way Heidi likes it when we're on the road... Deep, untracked snow off the sides... dry pavement under our wheels! :-) ... uh ... Me Too!

Stopped in Winslow... and spent a moment "Standin' on the Corner"... for the required Tourista Pic Takin' ...



Then back in the Lil' Red Chevy Hot Rod to shake rattle and roll, east bound, rollin down I-40... bound for Sante Fe... which we made just after dark...

We'll pull out sometime this morning... for breakfast over at a lil' cafe, just north of Madrid... then ... reluctantly, we'll turn our noses and start followin' 'em North again... bound for Nunn... and the future! :-)

That future, is gonna have a different complexion than we'd planned... but all in all... it shines brighter all the time... Freedom Road is a comin'!

Take Good Care
