Our third, and last, La Quinta
We're in Tempe, Arizona, near the Phoenix Airport, after the most beautiful drive yet. Left Grants, NM, at 9:30, our daily start time, and drove 335 miles, getting here at 4pm or so. Much of the last couple hours was through Tonto National Forest and was simply spectacular. I wish I had more pictures to show you but, in truth, iPhone pictures cannot possibly do it justice. Here's one off the web; we didn't have such a dramatic sky, but the terrain in this photo well represents what we saw. There were many spots with hundreds of those majestic cacti and those grand mountains as well.
And here's one I took; not great, but hints at what we saw:
Tonight Ransom has found another TexMex place for us to try. I'll tell you about next time. In the morning one final five hour push to Palm Springs.
