Who, What, Where, Why, When and How?

The six words of this blog post title are the time-honored underpinnings of classic journalism.  Every  young wannbe reporter had those six words drummed into their cranium early in the Life Of Deadlines.

And, so, whazzup with those buzz words for this Road Trip?

Who?

Naturally, it's Little Yonni and Sweetie Susun heading out on the highway.

What?

Our SEAZ jaunt is another in a long string of lengthy Road Trips we've been lucky to enjoy in our lives together.

Where?

This Road Trip is designed to encompass many of the enduring highlights and icons of Southeast Arizona.

Why?

Well, for one thing, neither of us have seen or enjoyed very much of Southeast Arizona, especially the Chiricahua National Monument.  In fact, Susun's never even BEEN to the Chiricahuas!  Also, this is the genuine 100th anniversary of my Grand Dad's cavalry service in the US Army during The Pancho Villa Campaign.

When?

We plan to leave The Verde Valley February 24 and don't know when we will return.  It could be a week or two or three or more.  This is a Stress Free Road Trip so all dates are tentative.

How?

We will be driving Sharlot (the 2005 Toyota Tundra) and pulling The Ritz, our 15-foot travel trailer.

As always when  we are traveling, we do not know when and where or for how long we will have access to the internet.  Susun will be posting to Facebook with here  phone.  However, we do not have a smartphone so we depend on traditional internet access to create blog entries or post to Facebook.  Suffice to say that updates will be spotty and possibly very infrequent.

One of the primary reasons we are doing such a long Road Trip covering so many miles is that Southern Arizona fuel prices are affordable.  In fact, the Tucson area has the lowest gas prices in The Western United States!
