Returning to Phoenix

Thursday, June 11 - It was hard to believe that the trip was coming full circle with our return to Phoenix. The landscape was pretty dramatic as we descended in altitude from Flagstaff to Phoenix. There were several miles of curvy 6% grades, which always makes Sandy's palms sweaty, even when she's not driving, as was the case here. Especially when there are big semis on the road. Unfortunately, we also passed what looked like an accident that had just happened. Cops were there, but no other emergency vehicles yet. The car was completely flipped over along the side of the road. Must have lost control on the curves.


It was also interesting to see that once we got down to 3000 ft, the vegetation changed, and we began to see the big, tall cacti.
