the Imperial dunes
the American canal
miles of agriculture
right thru San Diego to the sea
We drove the southern route to California, through Tucson, Yuma and stopping for a visit with a friend in Phoenix.
There were huge dust storms occasionally, and at one point the interstate closed because of them. We spent that night in Las Cruces.
Lots of desert and dunes, sometimes we skirted the border fence that separates us from Mexico...
We went through the great agricultural region that only works because of the water diverted from the Colorado River--startling to see such abundance in the middle of the desert.
The navigation system on the car talked us through the freeways and various routes we had to take to arrive at our son's home. The traffic and navigation had been a big worry for us--it turned out to be a piece of cake.
Typing has been super difficult with one arm working..
Enjoyed your photos, enjoyed your blog. I've never used a GPS, in fact, in traffic one might scare me as much as the traffic.
ReplyDeleteWe thought the navigation system a frill, too, until it smoothly talked us through exits and merges in a city we had never seen before--in fact it did it, too in Phoenix. We're converted!
