I spoke to Dad tonight. They made it to Blythe, California today, and have about a 4-5 hour drive left. Missy and I leave in the morning and should meet up with them in California tomorrow evening.
Dad said to say thanks to Gat for recommending VRBO (site where he found the cabin). Also, he very much appreciates the liberal speeding limits in West Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. He noted there were at least 4 skunks from San Antonio to El Paso - counted by smell not sight. And thank goodness for the Popeye's Chicken restaurant in Arizona where they ate lunch today.
He was welcomed at the hotel in Blythe by two gentleman shouting "Geaux Tigers" thanks to Dad's standard uniform (LSU t-shirt).
Mom must be enjoying the trip because every time I talk to him, I can hear her laughing in the background.
Almost there. . . just a few more miles and a few more days.
