Most excellent!

I did get a shot of this morning's sunrise before I left, just haven't got it on my computer yet. I am a sucker for sunsets behind the mountains, though...that is my favorite thing.

I can definitely see why you just upped and moved there. Next time I'm out there I want to see Scottsdale, Flagstaff, and Mesa.

Yes - Thanks for sharing your trip, it was nice to live through you vicariously!!

Yes - rasputinj and I are really looking forward to the short 'road trip' from Las Vegas back to northern Los Angeles County when we pick up our new Clubman.

Noice pics!

I just came back from STL. Got out between Ike leaving and the river coming up.

Did I mention those are some really good pics?

I was so in "vacation mode" that I didn't think of it. It would've been funny though; I couldn't see too well out the back window(s) on the way down. Little better on the way back until we re-loaded the dog crate on top of the suitcases. Suspension didn't sag bad at all, and mileage was still in the 36 range.
