Wow !!! Nice welcome home ....


Last night as I made my way towards the Deschutes River I was greeted with the most beautiful sunset of the entire trip. It was wonderful to see the sky lit up like a welcome home banner.
8,600 miles - let me tell you, it was a trip.

Full moon...

It was so very nice to be able to walk on the beach under a full moon in November in sandals, shorts and a tank top.

Overdue update

 Much has happened this last year.  March 2021: The Nissan service manager was the one who told me that the van was beyond repair (not the mechanic).

Yuck !

It was a little chilly in the van when I awoke this morning. I could tell that the wind was still whipping around so I looked out the window to find it is raining and snowing.

I would have to go through Flagstaff to get to Casa Grande but they say it is worse there so I will hunker down here for another night. They are predicting a low of 22 tonight here in Gallup, Brrrrrr, so I will see what it's like tomorrow after lunch as they say the roads will be clear by then and the front will have moved through. It's quite a difference from the 88 degrees that I enjoyed just a couple of days ago in Carlsbad. That's traveling for you!
