OKRoads -- Spring Training 2004 Roadtrip -- Trip Summaries (Days 8-9)

This was the day I said good-bye to Phoenix and began to head toward home. I went as far as Albuquerque on this day. I started the day by driving Interstate 17 to Flagstaff, and it was a great, scenic drive. Then I headed east on Interstate 40 for the remainder of the day, and I was back in deserts not long after that.
