not much to report today, just driving through arizona beginning at gallup, nm and ending at kingman, az. much of the landscape from the oklahoma/texas border and throughout the southwest into california looks pretty much the same. the higher mountain peaks in arizona near flagstaff are unique in that there are large pine trees and the elevation goes up to about 7,300 feet. throughout arizona there are also a great deal of tourist souvenir shops all along i-40 and historic route-66. we drove another portion of old route-66 this morning as we drove out of the koa in gallup to the mcdonald's to catch a very quick breakfast so we could hit the road early; about a mile each way, up and back. we have learned that starting out early means we can be in a campsite early and enjoy the evening in our newfangled prairie schooner. a note from nancy for the quilting groups; at the koa in kingman, az, they only allow one username and password per campsite, so nancy will not be posting until we reach california. this has been the only campsite we have stayed that only allows one computer to connect. she'll be catching up tomorrow. so, tomorrow we'll be in sunny southern california in long beach. surf's up, dude...
