Our "home" for the next two days will be Interstate 10. We will join it in San Antonio. If we keep going West it will take us through Los Angeles to Santa Monica, California. If we continue from Santa Monica it will be a dip in the Pacific Ocean.
If in San Antonio we should happen to turn East and keep going we would pass through Houston, Baton Rouge, and finally, Jacksonville, Florida! That is near the Atlantic Ocean. This Interstate goes from coast to coast, and not the most direct route. I think we will all remember to turn West in San Antonio.
To all our friends who think we have lost it to be making such a trip in August, and with our various and sundry ailments, you are right. We have lost it! We are hoping to find it again in the dry air of Arizona. Our first night may be Fort Stockton, but could be Ozona or Sonora, Texas. Second night we are scheduled for Las Cruces, New Mexico. The third evening will, hopefully, have us at the Cave Creek Ranch where we have had reservations for months. There is no TV, newspaper, or even phone service. Cochise survived without those luxuries, why can't we? We do have some serious games we play with gusto. It is like the gunfight at the OK corral (not terribly far from there). To the survivor goes the bragging rights.
Since there will be no blogs coming from the mountains I asked you to join me again, Lord willing, somewhere around August 17. Until then, vaya con dios mi amigos!
