SOUTH TO THE LONE STAR STATE-Apache Jct, AZ to Benson, AZ
Monday, October 20, 2008
Once again, it’s “Adios” to Superstition Sunrise. We love this place but still want to find more new things in this great country. Our first stop of the day was just outside Tucson, where we met Mila and Dave Emerson. After a visit to their daughter’s home, they took us to a [...]
Cottonwood, AZ to Apache Junction, AZ

Before noon, we were back at Superstition Sunrise RV Resort where we spent last winter. In fact, since we rented the site for a year we settled on to our very own spot on Marilyn Monroe Avenue.
Williams, AZ to Cottonwood, AZ

Last winter, while on a trip to Sedona, AZ, we found Dead Horse Ranch State Park and said we’d like to spend some time there. So we did.
Gallup, NM to Williams, AZ
Friday, September 19, 2008
Continuing on Highway 40/Old Route 66, we drove past the Petrified Forest, Winslow, and Flagstaff to Williams, Arizona. Williams exists pretty much as the Gateway to the Grand Canyon so it’s mostly hotels and restaurants.
Santa Fe, NM to Gallup, NM
Thursday, September 18, 2008
It was a warm, sunny day as we crossed the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico. Actually, the scenery was not especially exciting, with not much to see. Another time, we do want to stop at Laguna Pueblo to visit this very old place, but not today.
Colorado Springs, CO to Santa Fe, NM
Wednesday, September 17, 2008
We’ve traveled this road before. Driving I-25 was quick and easy…and not real interesting. We did see more of Santa Fe than ever before.
Cheyenne, WY to Colorado Springs, CO
Sunday, September 14, 2008
Driving from Cheyenne to Colorado Springs through mostly flat terrain was familiar to us. Carol was dreading the drive around Denver, but since she was not able to pull the “jacket over her eyes” trick, she managed to tough it out and make the trip safely.
Rawlins, WY to Cheyenne, WY
Saturday, September 13, 2008
A sunny day, though it became cloudy and windy by evening. This was another smooth trip. We drove I-80 east to Cheyenne, Wyoming. Our one stop was at the Lincoln Monument on Sherman Summit. I-80 is the old Highway 30, the first major east-west highway in the United States; named the Lincoln [...]
Dubois, WY to Rawlins, WY
Friday, September 12, 2008
The morning was cool enough that there was serious frost on the vehicles…a signal that it really was time to head south. Barb and Rick, with Murry, came out to send us on our way. They were terrific employers who have become good friends.
