We haven't posted anything since Thursday, and it's because we haven't done much.  The cold front arrived Thursday night and with the winds, it blew up the sands and dust from the area.  We opted to just stay in Friday.  Saturday we watched football.....the Badgers did get a win, but it wasn't pretty.  They have lots to do down the stretch, if they are to be a contender.  We did watch the Ohio State and Penn St. game, and it lived up to the hype! We are also, watching the World Series, and it seems that they are well matched.  Today, we move to Deming, NM and will be there two nights, arriving in Willcox, AZ on Tuesday.  I will be bombarding you with beautiful scenery, once we get back to our favorite hiking area.  We have made the southeastern part of AZ our destination, since we discovered it, back in 2006.  We missed one year, when we traveled to the Northwest and down the coast.  We usually don't repeat places to visit, but this is definitely our favorite place, and The Chiricahua National Monument is very special.  It has a lot of history and it gets us in shape for our hiking in The Valley, when we settle in Apache Junction for the winter.  I probably won't post anything until Tuesday, unless something exciting turns up! Well, I was wrong!  We had a good travel day today but I want to post a couple of pictures of our trip today.

This is the scenery we had to enjoy on our travels today.  We had to go over this mountain range after we left Alamogordo.

I always have my camera handy, when we travel, as I never know what I'm going to see.  Well, today was a first!  This U-Haul was towing the back half of a Volkswagen car, attached to a motorcycle (somehow).  There was a back seat in the car portion, so I suppose three people could ride in this contraption.  We are at 69 degrees, sunny and somewhat hazy.
