August 3rd, 2013 10:30 Pm MDT Day 25 We left Springerville, AZ. at 5:50am and traveled 322 miles. Arrived here in Santa Fe at 7 o' clock this evening.The temperature was 50 degrees when we left this morning, so started out wearing long sleeved shirts and windbreakers. In about 14 miles we got into NM. We stopped in Old Town in Albuquerque and walked around a bit. Next was Al Unser's Racing Museum. Arrived there just before 3 and the museum was open until 4. Al was there and one of the guides told him that we'd driven our car from Pa. He was very personable and agreed to have his picture taken with us. When we were looking at the 1922 Model T Touring in the museum, Al Unser came over to us to tell ... read more

August 1st, 2013 Day 23 Our destination today was Sedona, AZ., 192 miles. After spending the night at Audrey & Dave's house, we had breakfast together in Scottsdale at the " Good Egg". We were on the road to Flagstaff and then to spend the night in Sedona by 9:00 am. The ride was hot until we got into the mountains. We visited Kathy & Russ Furstnow in Flagstaff. His workshop is quite impressive. We then backtracked to Sedona through some heavy rain. Jacque & Mae... read more

July 30th, 2013. 10:00pm Day 21 We left Los Angeles at 6:35 am with 304 miles to go, heading for Yuma, Az. Dodger Stadium was rIght up the hill from our motel so we drove up there to get some pictures before we left Los Angeles . We didn't take any pictures since the road was blocked off. Getting out of Los Angeles took longer than expected. We took Ca-1 going by way of San Diego, passing through all the beaches, Long Beach, Huntington, Sunset, Laguna, Newport. It's just like you hear- houses built on hillsides. Makes you wonder how they stay up there. We stopped for gas in Spring Valley, 160 miles to go. The first part of that leg was mountainous and then came the Sonora Desert. It was hot but not as hot ... read more

July 28th, 2013. 9:00PM PDT Day 19 Traveled 313 miles today. Our day started out rather calm, but wait, it doesn't stay that way. From our motel in Henderson, NV we drove 19 miles to Hoover Dam and got there early to get a spot in the parking garage. Since we were carrying 3 gallons of gas in a can, we were not permitted to park in the garage. Where we were parked gave us our exercise since we had to walk about a half mile and do 84 steps ( I counted them ) both ways. The dam is so big, it amazes us how this could be built in the 30's. From there we headed to today's destination, Hesperia, Ca. About 11:00 am,WE MADE IT, To California. Not long after we got into a ... read more

July 26th,2013 10:30 PM MDT Day 17 Today was the shortest tour of the week, Zion Canyon- 81 miles. As we got to Zion Canyon, we're thinking " did they save the best for last ". We're hoping the pictures will give some idea of how spectacular it is. We drove through a very short tunnel and one that was 1.1 miles long,built in 1930. We actually drove on roads that were down in the canyon. This was different from the other canyons since they were seen looking from the top down. We saw a desert big horn ram while driving through. After we got to the town of Springdale, we parked our cars there since there would be too many for the visitor's center parking lot.We were shuttled to the visitor's center and from there ... read more
