I just handed the Jetta over to Tracy after taking the Albuquerque to Flagstaff shift. The scenery is at its best in Flagstaff elevation 7335 feet. The trees are frosted with snow and there's more than a foot on the ground. The roads are pretty good but we've finally run in to some less than desirable weather. We've picked up some snow outside of Flagstaff and we hope we start to reach lower elevations before nightfall about 30 minutes from now.
We just clicked past the 1650-mile mark and we are both ready to see the California Arizona border.
We've traveled on and near Route 66 and the history of that highway is really interesting. We'll read up more on that when we get home.
The Texas Panhandle left a lot to be desired and we both decided you would have to be one tough SOB to live there during the summer. It truly is No Country For Old Men even if it's not close to where that movie was filmed. The only interesting sight during this portion of the trip was the winged Cadillacs buried hood first right as we left Amarillo. And really that's about it.
We both really like Zona. It's about a 4000 time improvement over New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle.
Only 400 miles to go!!! We'll post a snow update shortly.
