We are in the desert


This is the view out of our window tonight. We are in Tucson, AZ enjoying the warm desert air. Yesterday we drove through 4 states, started in Utah, passed through Arizona then into Nevada. We headed back into Arizona but the road we wanted to use was closed because of an accident so we had detour and believe it or not we went through a part of California.  
Snowy Provo, Utah, we went for a walk after watching 2 NFL playoff games yesterday.
A beautiful mountain vista in southern Utah.  We finally got out of the snow as we approached Las Vegas. 



The highway ran through some stunning scenery, it kept my head on a swivel most of the day. We decided to bypass Las Vegas and head further south and visit with some old Yellowknife friends, Doug and Lorraine Ivey. They came and picked us up and I had my steak fix at an Outback restaurant.

It was great to catch up with them.  Today we connected with my brother in Phoenix and picked the new stove for the galley. He fit it in his truck and will travel with us to the boat.  It will be great to have all three burners working. We will head to San Carlos tomorrow and find out what shape the boat is in.
