A view down I-25...
The road from New Mexico into Arizona brought lots of familiar desert scenery. 
Once again we had two beautiful driving days. Yesterday we moved south from Las Vegas, New Mexico and turned west at Albuquerque to head towards Arizona. 
We stopped for the night at the Meteor Crater RV Park outside of Winslow to allow for an easy drive home this morning. 
The Arizona sign welcomed us to our home state as the thermometer in the truck crept up. But it was still in double digits which is always good news in the summer. We drove a short 120 miles to our stucco and sticks today, arriving early enough to beat the heat. We were on the road by 8:15 AM. Why? Because Arizona is on Mountain time and we were still operating on Central time. :-)
Here's some stats from our summer excursion:
nights on the road = 34 nights
miles traveled = 6483 miles
Average nightly cost = $25
gas cost = well, I didn't get that figured out yet, but in general we were seeing prices of about $2.55 per gallon
Caleb had a hard time last night realizing our vacation in the trailer was ending. So we all promised to camp once per month and geocache at least once per week. So stay tuned... our next adventure won't be very far away!
