We made it!

The Beverly Hillbillies finally made it to Cali.
We left Phoenix this morning and six hours and 350 miles of desert and mountains later we arrived in Ontario (and I drove most of it including the LA area traffic!) We traveled through some of the most beautiful parts of this country. I think the word in the car was just "WOW". If I were a better photographer I would still be out on that road taking pictures.
We finally got our first In-n-Out burger! Nobody warned me--it is a total zoo in there!!!!
Now we're resting up for tomorrow. Poor Leo has class for the next two days but I get to play! The hotel is adjacent to the mall so tomorrow is shopping for me.
(The pictures are One In-N-Out picture and one picture of the scenery from the hotel here in Ontario with a little smog included.)

Chandler

We made it to Chandler,AZ (Phoenix). It took forever because we just played around, made lots of stops and just enjoyed the ride and the views. Love the desert and the mountains. Oh yeah I just gotta say it,"it's a dry heat!" LOL
Tomorrow Ontario (LA)....

Middle of Nowhere

We are truly in the middle of nowhere. The last stop we made was the last gas stop for 40 miles. I asked the lady in Dairy Queen what was the next town. The next "big town" is Tucson--180 miles to the west! We truly feel sorry for the big rig that just blew a tire and did some damage to his truck out here in the middle of nowhere.
We have been taking our time this morning. We stopped at the world's largest Harley store--Barnett's in El Paso and a couple of souvenier shops.
We are truly enjoying the dry desert air.
Missed getting a picture at the Continental Divide. Maybe we'll get one on I-40 on the way back. The elevation was over 4000 ft!

El Paso

We arrived in El Paso after a nice 11 hour drive. We saw big turbine farms and smelled the black gold (Texas Tea) LOL. There really is NOTHING after you leave Odessa except the beautiful Davis and Guadalupe Mountains. Totally different landscape. I really feel like I'm in the Southwest. I'll have to come back when I can go to Big Bend.
On to Phoenix...
