The miles west took us next to Silver city, New Mexico, for a family evening and fine breakfast with Allee and Ken Barr. For the uninitiated, I am Allee's 'wicked stepmother'. Which is a joke. Really. Isn't it , Allee?
What a treat to see her and husband Ken, their dog Miel, to share conversation, food, and time together. Never enough time, but we wouldn't have missed the hours together.
Miss you, Allee, miss you, Ken!
But, on to Arizona Highways............
To the Air Force Museum in Tucson, Arizona. Fabulous museum. If you're in Tucson, don't miss it.
And to a lovely sunset in Arizona somewhere in the worst mobile home/trailer park of our entire trip.
We can't remember the city. I won't even tell you the name of the park. South of Phoenix, we think. Even Anna was upset.
So it was not hard to be out of town and Arizona at the crack of dawn, heading for our home state of
CALIFORNIA.
Yay, California, here we come............
We have been able to do all these posts here in the cabin in Fairbanks, as it was dark at 4pm, dinner was 5pm, and there's still time for a nap now, at 8:30 pm, before going out to, please, Goddess,may we see the Aurora tonight. Heading out at 10. Have committed to each other, the four of us, to stay out ( in the car, on the mt top) till 2. We are, choke, gasp, driving a Ford Expedition. It seems OK here though.
Please don't hold it against us.
You will, of course, be notified of the night sky activity either way. The forecast on the Geophysical Institute web site is hopeful. As are we.
