I always look forward to day three of our
trip to Arizona. That is when we start
following the Union Pacific west of Tucumcari, NM and the BNSF not too far west of Albuquerque
, NM all the way to Holbrook, NM where we head southwest
to our winter home in Apache Junction, AZ, about 30 miles east of Phoenix. Weather here is in the 80’s and sunny every
day. Not trying to make you feel bad,
just FYI. This year I went a little
further west to visit Winslow and Flagstaff AZ before heading south. The following are a few shots I took on day 3
and 4. Enjoy….Don Janes
