Days Two and Three

Petrified Forest National ParkYou gotta love KOA and wifi!

I'm writing this from Amarillo, TX at a picnic table in the dark. Mac 'n Cheese is on the propane stove.

So, to recap... Yesterday we traversed the wide expanses of Arizona's varying terrain. We started in the deserts of Phoenix and crossed mountains and valleys, forests and plateaus, and a torrential thunder storm. I was Thunderstorm in Arizonasurprised and awed by the different landscapes in one state, stereotyped by saguaro cacti. We visited Petrified Forest National Park before stopping in Gallup, NM for the night.

Today we basically just drove, listened to music, and read billboards. Stuckey's, 23 miles. And we crossed the continental divide this morning. There was a little marker off the freeway, not much to look at.

Tomorrow, we'll get to see all the people in Oklahoma, and spend the next day there. I should be able to update my blog from there, so you'll hear from me again, soon!

Until then, God bless, keep up the prayers!

Emily driving?!?! slightly scary! It's nothing personal, Emily, every new driver (especially if they're younger than me) scares me.
You guys are in our prayers. Say "hi" to the OK gang for me.
