Go Back Travel
2007 Well, we finally got the bug to get on the
road. We figured 8-10 weeks would do it. We planned on going west, seeing
a few places we missed on our last trip, and finally visiting our (Don's)
cousins in Cal-E-Forn-E-Ah.
Well, it took 3 weeks.
We blew through most of the middle of the country and the near west,
finally beginning to see things in the far west.

Our 1st stop was in Alabama where we
visited the Tiffin Motorhome Company and took a few photos. No, we
didn't buy a new one, but they were really nice. About $350,000
would have gotten us a nice one, but our hearts aren't really into
RV travel as they were years ago, so we didn't sign on the bottom
line.

Next, we drove through Texas on Interstate 40. We visited
the city of Amarillo, where we were disappointed. We expected BIG
TEXAS but really saw what we believed to be a "trying to come
back city". Cadillac Ranch was the big excitement here.

The Barringer Meteorite Crater (also known as "Meteor
Crater") is a gigantic hole in the middle of the arid sandstone
of the Arizona desert. A rim of smashed and jumbled boulders, some
of them the size of small houses, rises 150 feet above the level of
the surrounding plain. The crater itself is nearly a mile wide, and
570 feet deep. Click here for photos.

Montezuma Well was formed long ago by the collapse of a limestone cavern, over one million gallons of water a day flows continuously into the Well. It has provided an oasis for wildlife and humans for thousands of years.

The Wupatki and Wowoki Ruins were impressive. Dating back to the
late 1100's and some in use until the 1930's.

Yup, Las Vegas again. While we were there we took in 3 shows. By
far the top was Celine Dion at Caesars Palace. I only knew her as a
person who sang a song in the Titanic movie, wow was I ever WOWED!

| Cal-E-Forn-E-Ah
A major destination for us. I have two cousins there and had
planned to see both. That didn't work out totally, but I did get to
visit my cousin Sue and her hubby Jim as well as their son and his
wife. Sue Jim and Marilyn and I had a good gab on Saturday
afternoon, dinner out at a Pakitalian restauraunt ( only in
Cal-E-Forn-E-Ah) then a great winery crawl on Sunday afternoon. My
regret is that I didn't get to meet my cousin Cathy and her family.
