Thanks.<br /><br />The Geezers - My pleasure! It's all about road trips! We've been home for two weeks and we have cabin fever big time.<br /><br />Sylvia - Thanks Sylvia! It's good to see you back on-line. Thanks! <br /><br />mshatch - Thanks! Yep! Tootling about is what we do...<br /><br />DEZMOND - Thanks! I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I think I took around 50 photos in just a few minutes.<br /><br />Carly - Thanks Carly! I find most of the stuff one of four ways. On the internet, in old books, word of mouth, or exploring. Thanks so much, I'm glad you them.<br /><br />Jenny - I hate it when that happens! I love history so it is easy for me to get immersed in this old stuff. Thanks so much!<br /><br />Gingerspark - I also think these things are bittersweet. Yes, we drive an RV and we do aim for campgrounds, but any public land is available to camp on. As long as you can get to it. If there is a fence, but it's not locked, you can open the fence and drive on in. Our RV is totally self contained, but if possible, we prefer a regular campground with hook-ups. We tow a jeep and use the RV as our hotel. We have no problem driving the jeep a couple hundred miles a day exploring the area and then returning at the end of the day.Pat Tilletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17699973774273291205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-77518204767180959482013-06-04T18:00:46.918-07:002013-06-04T18:00:46.918-07:00Lovely and sad.

I do not like humidity!<br /><br />Michelle - AB is an amazing place. In the spring, parts of it explode with wild flowers. Isn't it interesting that people are more likely to tour places they have to travel to, instead of in their own area? Thanks! Michelle... Hey, how is Alaska?

Some of the canyons we drove through to get to the park were amazing. I am sure that the area is very pretty in the spring, but not so much in November. The Salton Sea was quite the site. Surprising I never got to see any of this in the 20+ years living in So Cal. The sunrise was incredible!

I love the history though. Either actual or imagined.<br /><br />Stickup Artist - A lot of people seem to miss this one. One of the old route 66 actually moved to the 40. I think it was Newberry Springs. There is also some old places along the 80, that was bypassed by the I-8.<br /><br />altadenahiker - I'm right there with you! I LOVE it there also.
