Another Avis trip to Belgrade for Avis: A military train of big trucks.  There may have been a few Humvees too, but I didn’’t see any tanks or such. Between Cascade and Ulm the Dust hit…all the cars went from 80MPH to about 30MPH.  It was a spooky 20-30 seconds, then out of the Dust! […]

An Avis trip to Belgrade: the Giants at the Gatesof the Mountains! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

31 Mar 26!

From back in early March, a few miles above Jerome, AZ.  The bump on the horizon is the San Francisco P3eaks.  Flagstaff is at the base of the peaks, some 40 miles away as the crow flies. ~Curtis in Arizona, then at least! {!-{>

Starting the final ride home…round and round we go in the Holiday Inn Express parking lot!  Brigham City. ~Curtis, /\/\onTana! Bound! {!-{>

22 Mar 26!

A fairly short day from St. George to Brigham City, north of Ogden.  Around 300 miles, all freeway (I15N).  Same distance as yesterday, but much less uphill and no two lane.  The last stretch is tomorrow: 517 miles or so. Early daylight. Somewhere north of Cedar City, approaching Beaver, I think.  Sunny but not too […]

Day 26071! 12 Mar 26!

Picacho Peak!  There was a huge flower outburst last time we were down here. ~Curtis in Arizona! {!-{>

Day 26069! 10 Mar 26!

On the way back down to Lowell, is the Bisbee Pit.  It looks like it is on the order of the Berkley Pit…maybe… Bisbee is most definitely  a  mining  town! A nice pit! But they have a long way to go before it is filled with toxic sludge like our’s!

Day 26067! 08 Mar 26!

We checked out the Whitewater Draw again to not many birds.  So it was off to Bisbee! Bisbee is an old (and not so old) mining town.  Lowell was a small town near Bisbee, but now part of it.  There isn’t too much current business evident, but they left the buildings up with historical window […]

Day 26066! 07 Mar 26!

We kept driving through all these orchards.  Further investigation discovered these are Pecan trees, and pistachios are also a big crop down here.  Potatoes are also big. You don’t usually think about Arizona growing things, but it does! More than just these rocks near the I10 on ramp. We ended up back in Tombstone and […]

Day 26064! 05 Mar 26!

The next morning we ran back out to Whitewater Draw.  There were not nearly as many Sandhill Cranes. Lots of other birds  Not many Cranes… Killdeer! Even a Mallard or three! So we cut our losses and headed out to a fine little restaurant called “Sandy’s”.  It is attached to a little RV park in […]
