Goodbye Boomerville & Quartzsite. Hello, Mesa, Arizona.





That cloud of dust up ahead
is Eric driving our
motorhome.







The puddly desert of two weeks ago is once again, parched.  I am following the motorhome with our Jeep.





It's easier for the motorhome to
navigate RV Pit Stop without
a car in tow.







We need to dump the grey and black tanks; fill our water tank and get Liquid Propane at  different service lanes.  We'll hitch up after he's "taken care of business."






Most of today's drive is
along Interstate 10 East.











125 miles to Phoenix & about
20 miles further east to Mesa.






Traffic is light at 12:30 pm.







of America is h-u-g-e.












Saguaro loom above the
desert brush.











Blowing Dust Area

This mostly sandy are is
 perfect for "dust outs."










TV & maybe cell towers
line the top of this hill.







Half a house is a Wide Load.

It travels with a lead &
& follow trucks. 






Suddenly, Billboards appear

Pilot Truck Stop & Crackerbarrel
Restaurant are located off
of Exit 117.






Land For Sale & a
housing development




Traffic is heavy enough to have
an HOV (High Occupancy
Vehicle) Lane.





Newly planted Saguaro Cacti
are propped up by carefully
placed pieces of wood.




The covers & the swaying looped
rope on the Utility Truck Buckets
remind me of Giant Jellyfish.





There's Phoenix...






Lights of the World
December 6 - February 3

This is Arizona Veterans
Memorial Coliseum.









Eric & I drive through a five
lane tunnel.





A plane taking off from
Phoenix Sky Harbor 
International Airport










This section of Interstate 10
East is also US Route 60.

Trees partially obscure some
sort of holding tank(s) on a hill.





There's a Tonka Truck
in front of us.




Apartments under construction...

I'm surprised there's no wall to
abate traffic noise











Freeway takes us to... 












... Broadway Road
Main Street-Apache Trail.










The mountain provides
directions to Phoenix.

It's west of Mesa.












Eric & I are having FlexArmor
applied to our motorhome's
roof at APR RV.







Preventive maintenance eliminates future costs of repairing a roof leak and concerns about mold in our motorhome between the roof and the ceiling.   Damage and discoloration of the ceiling is also avoided.  I'm excited!
