More time with the Hupps
We wanted more time with family and friends in Tucson. One more round of thinning out stuff we don't need, picking up a few things we do, and getting Bertha ready to head east.

2 dogs, 1 donkey and a sand storm
... Tumbleweeds cross the freeway, together with branches and various objects fallen from trucks. Our car is shaken and pushed by gusts of wind. The world gets darker and everything around us disappears, leaving only the road and sand. Just as Mai and I argue to determine whether this meets the definition of a sandstorm, the unthinkable happens: rain. The sky pours on us a mixture of sand dust and water that appears unreal in the middle of the Arizona desert. Many ...
