To know me is to understand that above all else, I love travel by ground transportation. I love the sights and smells of an American road trip, the food, the people I meet at all the little cowpoke places, the feeling of awe every time I stumble across a new landscape.
This past couple of weeks I decided to take the long way to Coachella. Starting in Phoenix, we went North to Sedona, then southeast to Las Cruces, Albaquerque, and a million sights in between. Here are a few highlights.

Watson Lake, outside of Phoenix.

Sedona. So pretty.

A little town called Bumblebee, AZ, if you can even believe it.

Some space stuff in New Mexico near the NASA test facility.

Petrified Forest National Park, NM.

The painted desert.

Tonto National Forest, Arizona.

Sunset along the highway.




Self-explanatory.



Alamogordo, NM.
