What a trip! Ready to relax for awhile! Here are a few photos for reminder of trip home through Arizona and New Mexico
We spent two lovely days in a rather HOT Scottsdale! Had some good Southwest food, did a little shopping, drink bottle or two of our California wine and relaxed.
We love the variety of trees and shrubs
Don’t know this tree—someone said it was in Willow family
We stopped in the small town of Wilcox, advertised as wine capital of Arizona— “dust on the bottles!” In one tasting room. Wine was okay.
The town boosts Rex Allen Museum and Wilcox Cowboy Hall of Fame. Rex Allen was the last of the singing movie cowboys—
In Almagordo we found the largest pistachio! And the best pistachio ice cream! This why we saw acres and acres of pistachio trees.
We drove along the White sands missile range and national park. This sand is gypsum—252 acres in the middle of nowhere!
Can’t beat this giant road runner! We have seen numerous real runners racing across the roads—beep beep!
Our destination for the night Inn of Mountain Gods—one of our favorite New Mexico locations—quiet, surrounded by mountains and in the distance you can hear elk bugling
Our room overlooked the golf course—beautiful even in cloudy weather.
It was long drive to our home base the final day of our travels. We stopped in Mason, Texas to visit our friend’s tasting room—luckily, we were there 45 minutes before closing time
