Our car would not make it now, even though it is 4WD. Another advantage the driver has is hanging on to the steering wheel to gain some stability. That's why Suzy is the motorhome driver, not the passenger. But that will have to change soon if we are going to take any weekend off. Great pics of the hawk.

Now you drive up to a M/W repeater site like I maintained and lived in for a week at a time. I retired from that in Nov 2011. I still carry a phone and answer tech assist calls from younger guys on the hill tops. Are you going to show me every place I worked in my silly life?<br />I enjoyed my 8 days in Tucson, but never saw you. I did enjoy drives to Bisbee, Efrida and the Strong Hold, fantastic views and lots of old neat machinery to look at.<br />Thanks for the travel tips, star watching tips, jokes and job reminders.<br />Back in Key West now and there are too many people, AZ does that to me also.ZippyPinHeadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744888611143753611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-68473115298289834402012-03-06T07:47:16.388-05:002012-03-06T07:47:16.388-05:00Hi Al...Especially enjoyed today's blog post. ...Hi Al...Especially enjoyed today's blog post. I love to "armchair explore" with you! Just curious, do you and Kelly do any geocaching? Never remember you mentioning it before and strikes me as something you might enjoy. I haven't done it for awhile but as full-timers a few years ago, it led us to places we might not have otherwise discovered.Camille Carnell Pronovosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00447079739206505287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-69062973757731658522012-03-06T07:39:41.511-05:002012-03-06T07:39:41.511-05:00Looks like you had yourself some kind of a neat tr...Looks like you had yourself some kind of a neat trip.

It's the one to go on the wall with that dark sundown silhouette picture of Kelly you posted a while back. I wonder what you were thinking while you were standing there gazing over the landscape. I was blessed to get to do that so many times when I was able to travel the southwest, before responsibilities kept me at home. The winds, the smells and the quiet. I wish I could have been up there with the two of you, just standing there looking. Thank you for giving me the chance to do it again, even though it's only by reading your blog. <br />~Pam in Louisiana~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-61932794810885516302012-03-06T07:18:05.868-05:002012-03-06T07:18:05.868-05:00I saw Kelly's post on facebook during your exc...I saw Kelly's post on facebook during your excursion yesterday.
