.....Well this is an exciting
prospect... a little scary too! More than a little, because I have not ever traveled and explored on my own.
.....Lots of experience being the passenger though. Navigation and map skills, plus reading the street signs... that's been my forte. But I'm
alone now. (Read more about it at
"My Widow's Walk")

.....This is a whole new thing for me. Yet.... never fear! I have a friend, and he gives me confidence. He will help me if I get lost (which I will, as past experience shows), patiently talk me through my mistakes, misunderstandings, and miscalculations.
....."Who is this wonderful helper?" you ask. [continued at right - "Wonderful Helper???"]

Rainy Day On The Road

It's still raining, and that will definitely change sight-seeing plans. I did see some of Whiskey Row as I drove out of town. I can always stay in Prescott again some other time. There's lots to see. Maybe I'll wait for their road construction to be finished!


The continuing route gave me quite a ride... up through Prescott National Forest, little valleys and meadows of farmland and livestock,  small communities, and also an exciting ride down Yarnell Hill! That was something... especially in the rain.

I stopped in Wickenburg, spent a little time walking around a shopping area, and had some ice cream at Good Water and Ice. After nourishment and exercise, I tackled the rest of the route which had very heavy traffic. But Mr. G guided me all the way and I did not get nervous or tense about the driving conditions. 

Now I'm back in my Home Sweet Home. This has been such a successful experiment. I learned a lot about driving, about the freeway system, and about being on my own. And I look forward to the next adventure of Mr. G and Me!

The biggest accomplishment to me is that you enjoyed it; the worry of yesteryear while maybe not gone entirely, did not paralyze you and keep you from enjoying what and where you are at the moment.

Glad to hear it Sis~!
