We left Minneapolis Thursday evening about 6:30. We stopped to sleep at some wayside rest in the middle of Nebraska. I was awake and ready to hit the road when the sun came up Friday morning.

Nebraska, pretty flat, pretty boring.
A change of scenery! This is along I-25 south in Colorado.
Greg and me outside of Santa Fe NM, it was windy as heck!
Greg driving, we are still in New Mexico, heading south on I25. I just love the mountains out the window.
More mountains in New Mexico.

My friends' wedding was at The Camelback Resort in Scottsdale Arizona. It was a beautiful wedding and the weather was perfect. We managed to sleep in a real bed in Scottsdale, Friday and Saturday nights. The bed was nice, much better than the front seat of our rented Kia Rio.
Sunset from the rooftop of the resort.

We headed out of Sin City, not much poorer than when we arrived.
The Virgin Mountains, AZ,NV and UT. Very cool to drive through!
I believe we are in Utah now, but this could be Arizona (we drove thru AZ for just a little bit on our way home)
snow in Utah.
I like to drive fast! vroooooom!
Greg all refreshed after a nice sleep in the car.
Utah is just amazingly beautiful!
We ran into a snow storm on our last summit thru the rockies. Vail Pass at about 10,000 Feet. It was not any fun driving up and then down the mountain thru this with our little car. but we survived. we just drove very slow.
