The Best of Times
December 14, 2010 in Uncategorized by Tom
This morning we left Las Cruces around 7:30 AM. I began the day as the driver and drove through Deming and Lordsburg. About 20 miles from Las Cruces we went through a Border Patrol crossing, where we were only asked our country of citizenship. Brenda took over driving in Lordsburg. About 20 miles after Brenda took over I took this picture of a neat rock structure around Steins, NM.

Taken from I-10 3 miles from the New Mexico-Arizona border.
Shortly, thereafter we finally arrived in Arizona!

Arriving in Arizona
We drove into Arizona where we continually saw pictures for “The Thing?”. We stopped at a rest stop near “The Thing?” where I took the next two pictures.

I took over driving from this rest stop on. We got off of I-10 around Vail, and took Sahuarita Road towards my parents house. We rocked out to Styx for a bit, and suddenly our cross-country journey was at an end. We arrived at my parents house at around 11:50 AM. My plans for the rest of the day were to sit around, eat, and watch Waiting for Guffman.
Brenda’s approximate mileage: 93 miles + 864 miles previously = 957 miles
Tom’s approximate mileage: 198 + 1,366 miles previously = 1,564 miles
Total mileage today: 291 miles
Total mileage for the trip: 2,517 miles
Subie count: 0 + 7 previously = 7

Congratulations! You did it with style rocking the Empire challenge Fairway Green polo shirt. I thought for sure you would have sold the car and caught a plane somewhere in Texas.
Now the question is will I drive back, or just sell my car and fly back?
