Since we have a few extra days to kill on our way to Portland, we thought we would stop in southern California to see one of Nancy's nieces that lives in Riverside. When we found out that she was back in Michigan for Thanksgiving, we decided the head for Las Vegas, instead.
It was cold again last night but warm today and for the first time since San Antonio there were clouds. There were also lots of contrails and by the end of the day the combination had produced nearly total overcast. In all our travels, the only other time I've seen contrails like this was over a month ago in Iowa.
We stopped for gas in Tucson at an ARCO AM/PM Minimart that would only take cash or debit cards. That's a new one for us.
Phoenix proved to be about as I expected--very large, very flat, very ordinary. That so many now choose to live here defies my comprehension.
Just before Wickenburg, our stop for tonight, the terrain suddenly turned hilly. It was the first bit of interesting scenery I've seen since El Paso. The RV park is also an unexpected delight, full of trees with lots of long-term residents. Quite charming.
