Sundown on the Arizona / New Mexico Border

Days 28 & 29 were jammed with speaking, driving and very little sleeping. We left Elk Grove, CA at 8:30 PM and drove until midnight to get a little ways through the valley toward Los Angeles.......didn't make it very far and spent the night in a rest area that was anything but restful. We got up a 6:00 AM and started making our way to Phoenix where we spent the night with some dear friends (and family).........the Strows. We hadn't seen them in over 20 years since we lived in Flagstaff so it was a great time of remembrance of the "good ole times". We left out this morning at about 9:30 and drove a few miles to see Darcie's aunt Daryl for a few minutes before we headed for our one night stay in Las Crusas, NM. We took the scenic route out of Phoenix through exciting towns like, Globe, Miami, Superior, Pima, and a bunch more. It took us a little longer but it was well worth it.

When we got almost to Las Crusas we spotted 3 bright lights in the sky that looked like and airplane coming in for a landing........but there was no airstrip. They kinda hovered over the freeway about 500 feet in the air........then flew in back of us for about 20 miles.......turned around and came back........and then just disappeared. We thought we heard the "do do do do - do do do do" music until we saw the sign for the UAV testing center.........guess they were tracking the Mini Winnie......

Thanks for your prayers............got another long day tomorrow.

Blessings.............Tim & Darcie
