This is a picture of the highest mountain in Socorro, NM, where we spent two nights on the way to Phoenix. The white speck on top of the mountain is a big M painted on each year by the freshman at New Mexico Tech. It stands for miners because it was originally a school for mining engineers (and still is a major, actually).
Here is a shot of the mountains on Arizona's "scenic route" which I loved and the genius hated.
We're pretty high up (almost 8000 ft.) in the "scenic" mountains of Arizona.
If you look across the valley to the left of the sign, you can see the road where we had just been. The genius was freaking out at this point.
We had a great visit with Ashley and are now on our way back. I'm sure all of that part of the family was glad when we left because of the disturbance Rufus caused several times either with the dogs or the cats. Ash said she had never seen her overweight kitty move so fast up the steps when Rufus chased her. And I never saw Rufus move so fast when the two big dogs chased him one afternoon!
Tonight we are in Albuquerque and plan to be home Wednesday night.
