Driving Northeast to Cottonwood, Arizona



Today's drive starts on Interstate 8 East, towards Phoenix.






"Train spotting..."










This Rest Area is Closed.








Eric & I arrive in Buckeye
to visit...






















We take Loop 303 around Phoenix.







Eric says, "Look, there's a Giant Baby!"  I pointed my camera roadside and started taking pictures.  Thank God I have a good camera and the photos are high resolution.

Mom & Dad look on...

This Saguaro is amazing!

It looks like two cacti.

Southbound traffic.





This motorhome is on its side.

The tow car, a Jeep, is on a
tow truck.

Our utilities include a good 30 amp electric connection, water, and sewer.  The Cactus Eric bought me for Easter 2021 is getting much-needed sun.
