I was pretty tired driving yesterday because I didn’t sleep too well the night before, but I made it up to the Monterey Penninsula and stayed at a Hotel right on the beach.  It is beautiful.  I watched the seals swimming and diving as I had my coffee and Ultimate French toast in thee restaurant [...]

This was a great,great place to visit.  I stayed in the La Quinta at Oceanside for three nights and went into San Diego Saturday and toured around the old historic district and then the downtown area.  The climate here is very good and the palm trees and mountains side by side are beautiful.  I ate [...]

I haven’t posted anything about my trip lately, because some of that time I wasn’t connected and other times I was just too busy or driving most of the day.  I went back to my nephew’s in Anthem after I left Flagstaff.  I had a great time visiting with them and their children.  They are [...]

Today I did the hike down the South Kaibab trail here at the Grand Canyon.  I was kindof euphoric on the way down , it is such a beautiful piece of God’s work.  I hiked in about an hour and a half leaving the top at 9:30 am and turning around about 15 minutes below [...]

I drove up to the Grand Canyon today through Flagstaff.  I ran through some ice and snow on the roads up here but it didn’t last too long.  It is definitely colder up here and is supposed to snow tonight maybe 7 inches, so I will find out in the morning when I wake up.  [...]

I’m writing this on my fourth day of the trip, but I will tell you about yesterday.  Not much to tell, really. I did work out and take a long walk and drive around the area seeing where the starbucks were, there are two or three of them, cool.  Today Andrew, myself and Dave, Andrew [...]

My second day of driving was good, but longer than the first.  I didn’t go through anymore dust storms and that’s good.  I encountered one traffic/safety camera but I wasn’t speeding..  They were nice enough to let me know that I was entering a safety camera zone so I slowed down to 75 after I [...]

I left home about 10 am and got to Fort Stockton about 5:15 pm. Pretty uneventful day except for the dust storm I got into after Ozona Texas.  It lasted all the way to Fort Stockton and the temperature dropped about 20 degrees really quickly.  My front end on my car is still pulling a [...]

I will be leaving tomorrow for points west.  I hope to surprise my cousin in Tucson when I pop in at the gem show which is right on the way to Anthem where my Nephew and his family live. I will use my blog for updates on the trip so anybody that might be interested [...]
