Long Drive from Tucson to Madera, CA

Today's drive was our longest so far.  We started out from Tucson at 5:00 to beat the Phoenix traffic, and we were rewarded by seeing the sun come up over the mountains.




My Dramamine wore off right about here.
  A roller coaster ride for sure!

After crossing the California state line, we saw the effects of the drought.  















You can see in this picture the area that has been irrigated--the contrast of the green again the brown.
We arrived in Madera about 5:45.  We'd been on the road for over twelve hours.  Yep, we're tired, but it was a good day.  Tomorrow, on to Arcata, CA.
