It has been a few days since I have posted, as we have been traveling to our next destination. We stopped a night in Phoenix, AZ before continuing to Tucson. We are in the Sonoran Desert and this is their monsoon season, sure enough all 3 days we have been here they have had rain. Kind of odd how we have made this whole trip and not run into any rain, even in Washington and Oregon, but then we get to the Arizona desert and it rains. Rain is a funny thing in...

While we were staying in Williams, AZ we drove to the town of Sadona. This area has some of the most expensive realestate in the US and I could see why.

Just small groups of houses that were very run down and poor looking. We stopped in a town that had a museum with a lot of information about the WWII code talkers. They were amazing men who should have earned the highest honors. When you drive across this area it makes you ashamed of what th...
