We're headed east, and we're going to stay headed east until we can't go east no more!

Sure glad we weren't in the westbound lanes here! This line of traffic was 5 miles long. It was an overturned travel trailer that was blocking the traffic.



Southern California sure has a lot of windmills, and I just can't resist taking their picture.


Where we are right now is in the southeast corner of Arizona. We're going to visit Chiricahua Nat'l Monument today.



Here we are.


I believe those two pointed peaks in the distance is Chiricahua Peak, and it's 9,798 feet high. We really don't know much about the place, but Liz highly recommended a visit. And, we're determined to do a little sightseeing on this stretch, so here we go.



We are in an area where the Sonoran desert meets the Chihuahuan desert. Chihuahua is characterized by Yuccas and agaves, growing with grasses and often Creosote Bushes. Sonoran is known for the Saguaros. Both are pretty desolate, but can be gorgeous.

Time to go explore. We're also going to visit the Rex Allen Arizona Cowboy Museum. We got in the mood by watching part of 'Lonesome Dove' last night. We got the video a while ago. Larry McMurtry is one of my favorite authors. I especially like a little known book of his called 'Roads'.
