On The Road; Finally!

Well, we're on our way and the truck is absolutely "stuffed" with everything we could possibly ever need or want (and more) for our trip.  It's absolutely ridiculous and we actually "tried" to keep it down to a sane amount.  Time will tell and I'm certain that we will be gifting items as we progress with our travels.

395 - The 14's - "On the road again...."



We headed around Tahoe, down the eastern Sierras, spent a night in Lone Pine, waved goodbye to the snowy peaks and then spent two warm 90-plus degree days in Palm Desert with our wonderful sister (in-law's) family.  The heat was a bit of a shock, but a blessing and we felt like lizards soaking up the warmth. We were even able to make a quick visit to Joshua tree with its rounded rocky outcroppings, Joshua trees, and blooming Ocotillo and Mojave Yucca.

We've now arrived in the red rock country of Arizona - starting with Sedona where we are staying at a lovely Airbnb home with a view of the surrounding bluffs and red-orange rock out every window. Today's agenda - a nice long hike - finally!


A breakfast treat - our view!

    1. Good - Happy the comments work now. A few more tweaks and we'll be OK w/ it. We'll be picking up the Casita next Tuesday so we should have some photos available by next Wednesday for you to see. With the amount of excess baggage we brought, hopefully we won't look like hoarders.
      Also - enjoy your trip! We can't wait to see your photos!
