Eric & I Drive South to Cottonwood, Arizona






Eric drives to the end of




This section of our drive is
















Streams & rivers in Arizona
flow East or West from




This is beautiful...






A lone bicyclist braves
the conditions on an
Interstate.




Now I know what the 
base of a Frankentree
looks like.  





Eric & I turn South





This section of the road
is in terrible shape.





Every layer of the roadbed
has been removed.



Eric's experience working at the New York State Department of Transportation is helpful on this part of the drive. He tells me that the work being here will create a road that will last for fifty years.





We are on a long stretch
of downhill grades that
will descend over

The views are pretty.





The Runaway Truck Ramp
has a bed of soft dirt to slow

I remember our Towing Experience in Mount Vernon, Washington.  Daniel of Dick's Towing Service carefully prepared our motorhome and safely towed it to Northwestern Freightliner.

We chose a 50 Amp Site and are paying $10.00 per day for the extra amperage to stay comfortable during the 90-degree temperatures that are forecasted during our stay.
   





Wildflowers grow on our
awning side.











This is the view behind
the motorhome.







This is a great place to relax after two months of near-constant travel.
