Back on the road

We left this morning. The drive has been beautiful. I’ve never seen the desert so green. The saguaro cactus which were everywhere until they weren’t, looked especially healthy and hydrated. More flowers than I’ve ever seen along this highway. I kept trying to take pictures, but we were moving too fast. G said we would stop but there was never a place to.

Soon the elevation changed and the cactus was replaced by cedar trees. The rock became a deeper reddish brown. More gorgeous views. I was just reading about places to see wild horses running free. Arizona has a few spots, one caught my attention. Unfortunately we didn’t go through the exact area, but the landscape looked like horses could be anywhere. There were elk-crossing signs at the highest points. It wasn’t the right time of day either, but I looked and hoped anyway.

Driving across the country is different every time. We both actually love this. We were going to stop in Holbolt, Az but couldn’t decide on a place, it was early enough to keep driving into New Mexico. We stopped just over the border in Gallup. I never saw any wild horses but we saw some pretty landscape.

We will get to my daughter’s by tomorrow night.
