Apache Junction, just outside of Phoenix Arizona. These are the Superstition Mountains which we would really like to come back and visit when we have more time. Notice the Saguaro cactus?? They're everywhere!!
And then the Salt River Canyon in Arizona, they call it the Mini Grand Canyon
New Mexico....it looked just like Eastern Oregon to us....except it was at 7000 ft. elevation!
These are remnants of a Spanish mission which was part of a 16th century pueblo called Abo in what is now central New Mexico.
A bed and breakfast we stayed at in Wheeler, TX. The owner renovated the old drugstore/soda fountain on Main street. Very cool place and we had it all to ourselves! When I called to tell them we'd be in a little late, she said "We just left the key under the doormat, so just let yourself in and lock the door behind you...you'll be the only ones there". We were free to poke around and examine the antiques and old photos. :) The ceiling was tin!
And then driving through Oklahoma and Arkansas, we hit a fantastic, white-knuckles-on-steering-wheel ICE STORM!! It was very exciting...anyway, this is what our truck looked like in Margaret and Jerry's driveway in NW Arkansas. It was SO nice to seem them again, but, unfortunately, we never got a picture.
And finally....our Home for the next three months!!!!! We unpacked our truck into our hotel room which was a bit of a challenge but definitely doable. Our address is:
David/Wendi Lyons
Holiday Inn Express
Rm. 203
4090 Ross Clark Circle
Dothan, AL 36303
or P.O. Box 8832
Dothan, AL 36304

I think that I am missing something. Are you going to live in a hotel for three months? If so, why?
Ah yes, you were one of the few family members we didn't see in our family tour last month so you're out of the loop...we're down here at Ft. Rucker, Alabama until May where David's getting some fixed-wing training. So the Army is putting us up in a hotel next to the airfield in Dothan. His next assignment is a year in Egypt!!
Thanks for taking it on to get this started...I had plans to create it, but I kept bumping it down the list. We just need to get the rest of the family on it. - Andrew
