Late in the Summer [it doesn't matter which Summer], We get real tired of the heat.
This is the time that we escape the heat and take a road trip.
Mom and Dad wanted to try something different. We wanted to see the West Coast this year. But first things first - We needed to drop off some stuff at Veronica's [in Memphis]. Then up to Minneapolis to visit Dad's Mom. From Minnesota, we would drive back West. We wanted to see the Oregon Coast and Northern California. The trip took close to a month to complete. We drove a total of 7200 Miles. Our Route is outlined in Yellow on the Map. |
Our Route [in Yellow] |
We're ready to go. Hurry up, Dad. |
Our trip starts in Lake Havasu. We are going to take Interstate 40 East to
Memphis Tenneesee [some 1500 miles East on I-40], swing North to Minnesota.
After a week in Minnesota, we go West on I-90 to Yakima Wasington. From Yakima,
we hit the coast on Hwy 101 heading South. We cut over to the Sierras and Home.
Leg 1 of our trip is from Arizona to Memphis TN. I-40 parallels the old Route 66 highway. Actually, Route 66 exists as isolated stretches of road. In Memphis we deliver a bed to our daughter and see the grandkids. Leg 2 is from Memphis to Minneapolis. We're in a hurry to get to Minneapolis, so we do not take any photos or waste any time on the road. Leg 3 is from Minneapolis to Yakima Washington. We make several stops enroute and take many Photos. |
