Tucson, AZ
We head west from Tucson through the Tohono O'Odham nation on Arizona highway 86. We pass through the heart of the Arizona Sonora desert and end up on I-8 at Gila Bend, AZ. We head west to Yuma and hit some beautiful country and heavy rain storms. Ironically, Yuma is known for its warmth and lack of rain; but we hit chilly weather and a cold rain. But that's OK. We inadvertently tour Yuma's farm country and see citrus, lettuce, livestock, and more. Outside of Yuma, we see huge cattle feedlots and I finally understand the nature of corporate hamburger farms (that's really what they are).Today,we head to Quartzsite, Blythe, and Joshua Tree. Apparently there is absolutely nothing to do in Quartzsite unless you're a rock hound. In Blythe, there are geoglyphs--very large petroglyphs. And in Joshua Tree National Park there are __________ (can you guess?).
By Saturday we'll be in San Francisco and ready to start our new life.
