We are spending the night in Albuquerque after leaving Vegas around 10:30. This is day #5 and it is finally starting to feel like the trip we envisioned. Before it was more of a trip to Las Vegas and over to Tacopa Hot Springs
Ca to visit Connie's dad. We did meet up with Henry and Maryanne yesterday and had a wonderful 6 hours with them , including lunch and a trip back to their place. Death Valley is an amazingly beautiful place. For Creationists like us it is unbelievable
to see what the spoken word of God has created. 
The mountains surrounding Death Valley are just breathtaking!
Today we got to see the part of Arizona that Oregonians, at least these two, are totally ignorant of. We traveled
I-40 through Williams and Flagstaff, and went up through a pass that was higher than anything in Oregon. Just like all of Oregon is not like Portland, so not all of Arizona is 
not like Phoenix/Tucson. We stopped in Flagstaff for lunch at the Galaxy diner on old Route 66. It is a real throwback to the 60s. My right foot is in love with Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico so far. The 75 mph freeway signs are wonderful and we passed state troopers on the side of the road while we were doing almost 85, and not a look. That may change a bit as we start heading south and east. Traveling across Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia might make us a little more cautious.
I know, still no pictures posted, but they will be here within the next two days. We rode almost 600 miles today and may have a 700 mile drive tomorrow, depending on which source you believe. We will rely on the Navigator, our little Garmin GPS. She thinks we have around 600 miles, so will follow her route.
