This year's journey from AZ home included a side trip to San Jose to see how brother Roy was doing after his massive heart attack in January. Along the way we enjoyed the wildflowers on 1-17 north and Hwy 74 west to Wickenburg where we quickly toured the town, enjoyed a few local sites and a couple of vintage cars before having lunch at Annita’s, our favorite Mexican Restaurant. Then we continued on to Kingman for our first nights stop. Don purchased a “round” of new tires for the pickup while I did the laundry!!! Not too exciting, but pretty (and uneventful - except for excessive noise) along the way...

| Loved the creative signs... this one's for the Mosaic gals in AZ |
 |
| This one's for our daughter who was very tall growing up...Kristine Bean. We often call her Frijole even now!!! |
 |
| Don owned one of these - a 1968 (not a convertible-not red) but it brought a tear to his eye... |
 |
| I was a "Chevy Girl" myself!!! |
 |
| Beautiful scenery all the way to Kingman AZ |
We will have to spend some time in Wickenburg our next trip through. I'm sure there's a geocache there! I too, like that area of boulders on 74; an interesting oddity.
