The Journey Begins

 First, of course, packing. I did bring clothes, but most importantly the pens and knives I will live with for the next ten weeks.

 We set out bright and early Monday morning, our goal to cover about 600 miles, no less, the first day. And, no, Sharon did not realize she was color coordinating with the car. Orange happens.

 As coincidence would have it, we ran out of steam in Kingman, Arizona, the new home of Sam and Frank Fiorella's Pendemonium. We got in late and will leave early, so with no notice we decided not to impose ourselves on them. So here we are at the Best Western Kings Inn on Andy Devine Ave. How many of you remember, or ever knew, who he was?

Tomorrow should carry us to Tucumcari, New Mexico.
