T - 35 hours and counting

We are still getting ready for our big trip. I don't know if I've mentioned this, but we're headed for Arizona. We'll take about three weeks and see some country. The plan is to stay mostly with a friend of mine in Apache Junction, sleeping in the minivan, We'll do a side trip to Quartzsite and visit Albuquerque and/or Sedona on the way out and Tucson on the way back. Then we'll go to El Paso and take US 62 all the way back.

We tested our idea of making a bed in the van with plywood and milk crates. Works fine. Now we're scrambling around trying to tie up loos ends. The next post on this will come from somewhere down the road.
