If the lure of the open road, wide vistas and endless scenic views do not appeal to you, I am afraid you are in the wrong place today. I was digging deep into our archives and blew the digital dust off of some well loved road pictures. I could not wait to share them with you today.
All the road pictures were taken in a single day June 6, 2009, on I-17 between Phoenix and Flagstaff and on I-40 between Flagstaff and Amarillo, Texas. That length of travel day is now a little beyond my self imposed daily mileage limit, but I was only then beginning to consider limits.
My older, wiser self would never consider that drive in one day, well not this week anyway. 😀
What a fantastic wonderful day it was! It was a bit hazy most of the day, but the extremely varied terrain, the anticipation of what we would see over the next hill and the miles passing under our wheels, transformed a "regular" travel day into a day we will never forget.
Kelly Jo was sitting in her seat with both feet propped up, a cold drink in the holder, Odie's good camera in her hand and a smile plastered from ear to ear. She documented the whole day as we enjoyed the beautiful trip.
I want to show you those pictures in our Vintage View today. If you travel around the country with us on a regular basis and you love seeing the things we see, you are definitely in the right place today. Enjoy.
