don't go so fast that you don't enjoy all the scenery sands. i'm so envious. i would love to take a trip like this but it would take me a month because i'd have to stop at everything. you are fixing to see things so many of us will probably never get to see!

Hey John, welcome to the Southwest! Purdy ain't she?
If you make it over to Flagstaff let me know and we can go have a beer or somethin'.
PS It is getting cold up here though, below freezing at night. Might load up on blankets!
