Having checked the weather we decided the best route would to be to head directly east instead of north through Denver. They were having some wintry weather in that area. So, at 7:45am on Friday, April 8th, under cloudy skies & cool temperatures, we said good-bye to our Palm Springs home. We had quite strong south winds that made driving a bit of a tug of war for Larry. The wind got progressivly stronger during the day. We drove through Phoenix, then turned north up to Flagstaff, Arizona. Here we ran into snow-clearing equipment where there was no snow & thought it was kind of funny! However, about 5 miles out of Flagstaff we did have a bit of sleet/snow. But those guys were ready - in case any snow decided to fall! At Flagstaff we turned east again and drove straight into New Mexico. The topography here is so different.
I quickly whipped my camera out for this picture which I thought was quite unique.
Somewhere along the way we spotted this tiny, old-fashioned windmill of yesteryear, dwarfed beside the giant turbines of today.
As you can see, driving long distances is not Larry's favorite mode of transportation! He'd rather be flying!
