The Main Reason – Round 2
Reading Time: 5 minutesOn Sunday, after a 2-week break from “the road” (because of the weeklong cruise and the weeklong stay at our friends Dan & Cindy’s lakefront home in northeastern Washington State) we loaded up the car again and headed south.

Making Our Way to Sedona
Reading Time: 5 minutesWe spent 3 days driving The Mother Road. The first night’s stop was in Weatherford, OK. The second night we veered a little south, off the interstate highway to visit some family in Clovis, NM. That drive, Oklahoma through the Texas Panhandle, then southwest to Clovis, was nothing special. The evening we… Read more
