And, we're off!

We left Sun City, AZ this morning @ 6:40am for a journey that will continue 6 months across the US...

Although the temperatures were hot,hot,hot! the ride was pleasant and smooth with views of saguaro cacti and mountains in the distance. After 65 miles, we arrived at the first destination of our 4000 mile trip: Aguila, AZ. When we rolled into town, we spotted a tiny library (made out of adobe) to spend the afternoon. Tonight we'll camp in the town park and head out early tomorrow continuing our journey westward. We hope to arrive at Joshua Tree National Park, CA in a few days. Our estimated expense report for day1 is $10. 00; not too shabby, eh?

It was great getting to camp with both of you rachel and scott. Haha, on your first day the adventure had just begun. I hope the trip is treating you well. I am in Canyon De Chelly right now, or well just on the edge, soaking up some free wireless and a tuna sandwich.
