Glad to read that you are having a relaxing trip - despite the blown tire. Now just finish up your trip so we can see those pictures.

P.S. Barry, Pineapple is getting wise to all these freindly girls out here. They ain't so friendly if you don't give 'em no money. He's hoping to make another trip out there with me at the end of the month.

Is it going to take him that long to save up the money

.
Happy to hear your on the home stretch and the holiday is good for you

Ah shoot John, he probably ain't said something that hasn't been said before. It was either loud mouth, jerk, short fat guy, or something along those lines. It's all true so I hope ya don't hold it against me.

I'll bet he also threw some mushy stuff out there too Bop.

Like good ol boy, Friend, a lot of fun to hang out @ the LBL with. You know. That kinda crap.

Finally made it home about 9:30 tonight. Here's a few of the pictures. Nothing special, just desert mostly.

You could see these mountains 50 miles before you get to them.

The road just goes on and on.

Pineapple in my mirror following me.

Rainbow in Arizona shortly after I left JohnP.

Windmill farm in California. Looked like thousands of them in this valley.

Just one of those cool looking big rocks in the desert.

The 1st couple hours of daylight was a pain in the eye driving back east.

Awesome pics Ed

Had to laugh at the pineapple

poor bugger will be stuck with that handle

. Few bugs down there too

. Did you notice there isn't a pic without a vehicle in it

Welcome home Ed Glad to see ya made back

vvarmitr · September 07, 2010, 07:17:48 AM

Glad you're back safe too, & that some good times along the way.

Is there a lot of Amish out there?

Noticed they have some wide berms along the roads.

weedwalker · September 07, 2010, 09:03:04 AM

VV, I don't know about the Amish. Didn't see any. And I'm not sure if it was Arizona or New Mexico, but there was a sign on the interstate that said bicycles must use shoulder.
There was one place in Arizona called Texas Canyon. It was a cool looking place that I was wanting to stop and take some pictures. Just as we got there it started storming and pouring rain. I'll try to get some better pics on my next trip out there at the end of the month.
I don't know how many trips I'll be making. They have 6 of our trailers out there right now and there's probably a dozen or more scattered out in our eastern railyards that are supposed to go out there to be refurbished.

pitw · September 07, 2010, 09:14:43 AM

Well then Ed if your taking pics anyway how about some of the lizards

. They fix trailers up here too

.

FinsnFur · September 07, 2010, 09:12:32 PM

That is some cool looking country.
I know in my trip to Arizona it was one of the most visually intriguing places I've ever been. Some of those formations are just phenomenal, and your pics show it yet again.

Thanks for sharing em. Got any more?

alscalls · September 07, 2010, 10:00:28 PM

Glad yer back Ed! All that flat ground woulda had me all......... uneven......

weedwalker · September 08, 2010, 01:47:49 AM

Here's a few more of the desert. I'll try to get some better ones on my next trip Jim.

FinsnFur · September 08, 2010, 05:24:48 AM

There's a couple there with no vehicle in em for Barry too.

pitw · September 08, 2010, 07:20:46 AM

What the hey. You got KPH on your speedo

. Your good to go up here

. The rock i picture three is defying gravity

JohnP · September 08, 2010, 01:04:03 PM

Ed, I'm glad you made it home safe and sound, looking forward to your next trip out this way and maybe we can get in a stand or two.

Is there a lot of Amish out there? Noticed they have some wide berms along the roads.
The wide berms are to make travel easier for the illegals, we don't want to discomfort them nor make their travel more hazardous than it already is.

A couple more of Texas Canyon:

This time of the year the place is absolutely crawling with rattlesnakes. In early fall they come out and lay on the rocks to get warm and during the hot weather they lay up in the crevices for the shade.
