Auburn Alabama

Auburn Alabama Our trip is taking a detour at this point.  We were supposed to go to the coast in Alabama next and head down to the Florida gulf coast afterwards, BUT Tropical Storm/Hurricane Elsa changed our mind about that portion of the trip. So we cut that out and headed

Rockport Texas

Holbrook Arizona

Holbrook Arizona After we left Kingman, we continued east on I-40.  Boy I thought California roads are bad, but I think Arizona might have us beat in the bad road department.  I was afraid to walk into the trailer to see what had bounced around or broke.  My Styrofoam wine
