Wednesday We Drove

-

We spent Wednesday covering 470 miles from Palm Desert to Holbrook, Arizona. Our route took us from Interstate 10 to Interstate 40 on Interstate 17.

This includes some gorgeous scenery, some of which we explored a couple of years in the first of these trips. But today we just drove. Sharon made a couple of window shots early in the day, Rosa supervised. I tried not to get stopped for speeding, at which I was successful. Thursday will take us 405 miles due east, a straight shot along I-40 from Holbrook to Tucumcari, New Mexico, unless we distract ourselves by using a secondary route along US-180, AZ-61, and NM-309. Probably not, but we’ll see.

So, what have we seen and done to warrant such enthusiasm? Our first stop Sunday afternoon was, in truth, still in Scotland, at Preston Mill and Dovecote or as they put it Phantassie Doocot. The mill, which seems to be a locally popular stopping and walking place, was located an easy half m
