We spent our last day in Tucson taking care of some traveling business before continuing our trek to the west coast. We bought some milk. We fueled up the truck. I dumped the tanks. We prepped for departure.
Based on our recent experience in this region, the next two days going west will have great views to the horizons but will be uninteresting from a flora standpoint. There is a wide, fierce desert west of here. We will be driving west on I-8, a road that is unique for its lack of creature comforts, available assistance or humans. We remember a bleak roadside landscape most of the way. I think we are ready.
