Today was Tucson to Bullhead City. The weather today has just been delightful, in the mid-70s. The last two days in Tucson had high winds and it was not delightful.
We're looking for a new route between Bullhead City and Tucson. We would like to not go through Kingman. They have significant traffic and frequent accidents. So today we went I10 to US95 in California and up that way. As a new route, this is not the one. Once you get off I10, it's all two lane roads and zero passing lanes. It's also a truck route. I drove most of the two lane roads and it's exhausting. So, please make a note of this, and don't do it again.
This is Picacho Peak. It's north of Tucson. It's kind of weird how it just sticks up out of the ground, with no surrounding mountains.
This is how much of the drive looked. There are some really desolate parts of the state.
Safeway had the frozen Indian dinners again, so we got those. I'd like to not eat at Subway on this trip. Their quality has really declined, and everything is too salty. Some of the Indian dinners are high in sodium, but these two are not bad.
So, we're back at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites, it's still a nice hotel. They have raised their prices some.
Update to post: The chicken curry is good, but it's hot. If you're a hot food wimp, like I am, it's hot. I like the chicken Tikka Masala better.
Have a safe trip.
ReplyDeleteThe desert starkness has a unique beauty. I do remember the flat roads through the desert with unobstructed views and the big sky. It sounds like you have logged a few miles!
ReplyDeleteI went via Laughlin on my way south, but went further west (from Yuma) before heading to Vegas. I did end up on some two lane highways but just outside Yuma...can't recall the highway numbers.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels! Here's hoping today is a better day.
