We got up really early this morning and hit the road. We are either way ahead of the horrible storm they predicted or they missed the forecast. We had just discussed how accurate the weather people in southern Arizona were on every forecast. Now we are not sure. Anyway, the trip here was uneventful and that's always a good thing. The scenery did not offer us much change from dry and brown. Some parts of it seemed uninhabitable and hostile. However, I managed to see two interesting things.
Picacho Peak west of Tucson. It's a very odd looking mountain peak, isn't it?
The dark pile of rock is actually lava rock from an ancient volcano.
I always enjoy seeing this becuase it shows how our earth was formed.
We are not ready to explore Phoenix yet. The traffic is as bad as we were told. The roads are just like Texas interestates so we can get from one side to another. That's a good thing. If it does not rain tomorrow maybe we will go exploring.
