By the time we get to Phoenix

Howdy!

Looks like we'll be showing up in Phoenix on Tuesday!

We're in Burns, Oregon, waking up this morning to a terrific sunrise over a meadow. It was balmy and breezy last evening and this morning it's crisp and feeling like fall. Yesterday we almost ran out of gas when we spotted Hampton Station with two gas pumps and a cafe. So . . . as the saying goes, we ate and got gas. Har, har. Anyway, while we were eating we noticed a table surrounded by honest to goodness cowboys. They had dusty boots with spurs and were chowing down on rhubarb pie with gusto. I think that's the first time I've seen "real" cowboys. They sure looked like they knew their way around a horse.

Today we hope to make it to Nevada. These back roads are fascinating. We're loving seeing these slices of Americana, and amazed at just how much untouched land still exists.

Love, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and Bullet
