On the road

Week 1

Thru Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Nevada to Arizona and California

3204 km

We drove through four states to reach Arizona, where we rejoiced to be sleeping in a warm climate. After three days (and a night) of driving, we soaked up the sun for two days before heading into California to explore Josha Tree National Park.

This, of course, was a week of firsts: elk, lizards, sunburns, burros, new states, flowering cacti, Joshua trees, and being passed by semis and Greyhounds.

Gateway to week 1:
Day 1: Are we there yet?
Day 2: If you're close enough to read this....
Day 3: I'm not sleeping in the cold again!
Day 4: Where are we going?
Day 5: I'm not going there alone!
Day 6: They were born in Arizona
Day 7: Shampoo and Rinse. Repeat.
