Santa Monica to Tucson 520 miles; Tucson to Fort Stockton TX 540 miles; Fort Stockton to San Antonio 310 miles; San Antonio to Hammond LA 500 miles; Hammond to Peachtree City 450 miles and home! 2320 miles, down the Pacific Coast Highway, through the desert, skirting the Mexican border, no extended stops this time, but a couple of great steak dinners on the way. Our stop over in San Antonio was a nice break – although very humid for taking in the Alamo and the Riverwalk.
Collected pics from the journey – again the desert can’t be adequately be captured with an iPhone camera, but the cacti pictured only grow in the Sonoran desert in Arizona, and can live to be 200 years old…
