jan 4th- 7amish
i have to leave this beautiful hamlet. raymond makes me a farewell tamale and some burritos for the road. also some pumpkin bread that he made from scratch. he is so thoughtful.
8:30amish
ok i hit the road.... sorta depressed.. i don't really want to go back.
i decided to take the scenic route hwy 53west to 60- southwest...
it goes thru the highlands of new mexico & arizona.
12noonish
very beautiful and very desolate.. i literally don't see a living soul for hours and there are no businesses.
after many hours, i finally come to a gas station market. i ask the proprietor if i'm in the right direction to globe, AZ. he says, "it depends on which way you are going." i ask him how much longer. " 3 or 4 hours depending on traffic." TRAFFIC?!! i'm in the middle of nowhere and there isn't a soul in site!
is one cow crossing the road considered rush hour?
3pmish
i'm in the middle of nowhere.. the scenery is beautiful but i am bored outta my mind! i haven't seen civilization for hours.. who ever thought i would miss it.
6pmish
i finally reach GLOBE, ARIZONA. my destination for today.
i was here many years ago with my friend mouse.. 15 years ago to be exact.
at the time i thought it was a cute little victorian town with charm and quaintance..
i even had a chat with a proprietor who moved his business from san diego to globe and was very happy..
well that was then.... this is now.. the economy or something has turn this town into a PIT..
AND I MEAN A TRASH PIT! this place is awful. i do not recommend.
this is definitely the low point of my road trip. yuck.
i eat raymond's burrito & pumpkin bread and try to go to sleep.
