AZ road trip, what's your longest or best trip?
#1
Did a marathon road trip for work, a two hour meeting with a customer in Gilbert AZ (Phoenix suburb). Not a fan of flying and wanted to get away, so I hopped in the truck and hit the road!

What's your favorite road trip you've taken? Longest? Most relaxing? Memorable? Just curious  tinybiggrin



Day 1 - Saturday
Wisconsin to Amarillo Texas - 17 hours

Oklahoma had so many interesting landmarks  tinylaughing

Setting sun burning my eyes for an hour or so in Texas: tinycool

But when the sun finally set, just beautiful:

Day 2 - Sunday
Amarillo Texas to Phoenix Arizona - 11 hours

New Mexico starting to change from boring to beautiful:

First time in Arizona / New Mexico, tried to capture some nice pics that will never do justice...

And Mr. Ferguson kept me awake:

Finally came over the mountains into Albuquerque, nap time:

Cant remember which state, either eastern New Mexico or Western Texas:

That's it for the pictures. But after sleeping for 2 hours at a rest area outside of St. Louis, hit the road day 5 for the final 6 hours from St. Louis to home.

Made it safe and sound, 3,500 miles (5600 KM) in 56 hours over 5 days. Not bad!

Now I plot and plan for the next grand adventure. Maybe add some more time in to stop and enjoy the roses next time.
