Rocking and rolling along the highway

Paul and I took a rock trip leaving on Friday after school and returning home very late Saturday evening covering around 1,000 miles in all. We needed to check on a load in Ashfork, Arizona and then headed over to Ramah, New Mexico to check on another load. It was fun just spending time together, looking at some beautiful rock (some with petroglyphs), enjoying the scenery and listening to a new Clive Cussler book. It's hard to believe that people can be so handsome/beautiful, strong, indestructible, etc. as they are in these books, but it was an enjoyable listen. Another cool thing was seeing the new bridge at Hoover Dam by Lake Mead. It is an amazing feat of engineering for sure. I don't think I would want to be on it in an earthquake no matter how well engineered it is! We had thought about camping out, but after checking the weather and seeing that it was supposed to be 27 that night, we opted out and camped at a cheap (but nice) motel in Williams instead.
