Oma's Trip ~ 03/04/03
Dateline: Sierra Vista, AZ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good day today. Up early (for me) and out of Las Cruces, NM at 8am.

Kinda pretty drive today... Soonie Subaru was behaving well and I
even got to ignore ALL the signs that said:

POSSIBLE DUST STORMS
   next 10 miles
(or 15 miles... or 25 miles... or 30 miles).

These were some SERIOUS signs... they definitely wanted everyone to
know what to do in case a dust storm came up...
  ZERO
VISIBILITY
IS POSSIBLE

and

NO STOPPING
    IN
TRAVEL LANES

There was no dust storm today, though... lots of sunshine...

Crossed the continental divide a little after nine and Filled up in
San Simon, AZ  a little after 10.

Checked into motel6 as a little after noon, got settled in and
headed for Wal*Mart -- hadda get some PINK baby yarn to make a
blanket for my new great niece, Hannah. Got online and have been
answering email... hadda put more pictures up on ForeverAbby.com  and
then get this ready to post... in between talking on the cell phone.

SLIGHT change of itinerary:
Tomorrow (3/4/03): Sierra Vista, AZ to historical Bisbee, AZ to
check that out... and then on to Tucson to spend the night.  Then
the NEXT night in Phoenix. THEN I really get brave and will tackle
L.A. -- WHEW!

Stay tuned....
