Joshua Tree
These trees are all across the desert.
PIMP Onward ho! Well, we continue our adventures onto Arizona. We continued on past the Hoover Dam and into Kingman, where we decided to stop at a motel in order to regroup and relax from our time in Vegas. We found a room at the ‘Arizona Inn’ that was acceptable, and looked around the town a bit. Kingman is on the old Route 66, and there were a few interesting places through the town that seemed to be old attractions. We ate at a great Thai place, too. After checking out the visitor’s center in the morning, we headed down south to Phoenix to stay with LeAnne’s friend who’s also named Natalie. As we entered Surprise, Arizona, LeAnne was able to reconnect with one of her cousins, Brian, and we visited with him for a bit at the local Starbucks. It was a nice visit for her, and she was really excited to get to see him again and catch up. He showed off his bomb car, which got LeAnne and I pretending that we were racecar drivers too. But the thing is, with all that stuff in Subie, she doesn’t really ‘get up and go.’ In fact, when we get
started on any road it takes awhile to get going, so we often have buttholes who want to aggressively come up on us & tailgate. So we got a sticker that says, “DON’T TAILGATE ME or I’ll flick a booger on your windshield.” I think it works, b/c the ratio of tailgaters to time we’re on the road has significantly dropped.

TeePee
I think those are the same teepees that Oprah stayed in last summer during her road trip. And that classic blue car....looks quite like the one opa bought when we got to Ft. Lewis. Man, that sure dates me. Travel on...be safe....have fun.
