The car is packed!
Finished packing the car just after midnight on Wednesday so that we would be ready to go first thing in the morning! Thanks for following along with us! If you are interested, you can read about our last adventure across the western United States. |

On our way!
Mile 0 at 5:27am. Bright and early, and we are on our way. We wanted to get out of Orange County before the traffic got too bad. After picking up our friend Yvette, we hit the road at 6:45am and luckily didn't have to deal with any traffic getting out of Orange County. Yvette joined us for our trip east just to go for the ride. Like our last trip, we wanted to try to get as far out as possible on the first day before we started doing too much sightseeing since we had seen everything around there. We made it to the Arizona border (for some cheaper gas!) by 10:21 at mile 225. Rolled into Phoenix around lunchtime and visited the state capitol. We were also able to visit briefly with our friend Khanhie. |

| The building pictured above actually houses the governmental offices so we suppose it's the real capitol building. However, these offices were originally housed in the building depicted below. It is, however, still referred to as the state capitol, but it is actually a museum now. |

Got to Tucson a couple of hours later where we met our friend Kathy for coffee. Again, just another quick visit and we were on our way.
Just south of Tucson was the town of Tombstone where the famous gunfight at the OK Corral took place. |

We made it to the New Mexico border by 8:45pm at mile 697 and stayed the night Wednesday night just outside of Las Cruces. |
