How many the miles?

Maxed out.

Nothing like getting some exercise, in the cold, after 6 hours in the car

with about 8 more to go! Really, it was amazing!

See the rainbow in the canyon?

You may or may not be able to see the

the other end of the rainbow.  

We drove a couple of extra hours

so we could do this . . . Was it worth it, Mom? : )

3 days (29 hours of drive time); Stanley Marsh's Cadillac Ranch; a saloon in Dad's hometown; a fighter jet practicing barrel rolls, loops, and turns; the Painted Desert; a visit with my aunt, uncle and cousins on the road; the Grand Canyon; a hard brake to avoid a pack of coyotes; "customs" (?) at the CA state line; the Mojave Desert; the glow of LA; the smell of wildfires; vineyards; olive groves; Napa Valley; the Golden Gate Bridge; San Francisco; and, finally, "home," which is my extended stay hotel efficiency unit.

1,694 miles.  : )
