Cross-Country Driving

Well I have finally made it to Arizona...  

If you ever want to know just how big this country is try driving across it through the vast nothingness of Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona...  But it was a very scenic trip and often the views were quite breathtaking...

The final stats of my journey were:
Miles Travelled:   2158.7 miles
Average Miles Per Gallon Achieved in a fully-loaded Prius:   51.3 MPG
States Travelled Through:  8 (Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona)
Thunderstorms encountered while driving:  1 (in the Texas Panhandle)
McDonald's Drive-Thru stops:  3 (Plus one KFC in Albuquerque, New Mexico and one Sonic Drive-In outside of Winslow, Arizona.)
Most interesting town name passed by:  Bumble Bee, Arizona (Somewhere between Flagstaff and Phoenix off of I-17.)

So I have spent the last six days trying to unpack and get my apartment set up...  But I wanted to share some of the photos I took of the scenes from my journey.  They can be viewed on my flickr album by clicking on THIS LINK.
