Started out this morning and it was a balmy 26 degrees, but the sun came up early and warmed the New Mexico road quickly!  Made a few stops along my way to Ash Fork, Arizona, and this is how it all started this morning!

Then, I made a pit stop for an hour loop around the Petrified Forest Nat'l Park:

Well, what good would a trip along historic Route 66 be without some cool beverages and a Navajo blanket!

And what trip wouldn't include a hike into Walnut Canyon Natl Historical Site?  Of course, it was worthy of a photobomb...

And I ended the day in Ash Fork, AZ, along Route 66, but it was late and photos will have to come tomorrow!

I leave you with:

22 Degrees

When handed the option to stay out in the 22 degree cold in the Wally World parking lot or get a room at the Hilton, I'm gonna choose Hilton every time!

Every time...

Hello Lubbock!

So my Equal-I-Zer hitch kept tilting left and right, and it was rubbing a couple of spots in the bedliner, so the only thing to do was build a box for it!

$14 worth of lumber and deck screws (I already had the wood glue) and here is the finished product.

There is extra room for the hitch accessories too, so that's nice.  I also bought some ultra heavy duty 60qt storage containers for all the stuff when I pack up to travel.  Then I drank beers.
