Now, people and pups are finally ready for the awesome road trip from Ohio to Arizona. We will be driving through nine states: Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.

AAA Triptic Cincinnati to Arizona

Good luck to all. Have a safe journey, no flat tires, no sick pups (or humans). May the Force be with you!

Goodbye old house.

 

 

And off we are. Goodbye Ohio. Welcome Kentucky.

 

 

It didn’t take long until a very insistent Gulliver declared in no uncertain doggy terms that he didn’t want to sit in the back but insisted on a premium front seat!

 

Now, that’s much better, isn’t it! His brother in the back is of course jealous.

Fortunately, Gulliver settled down quite nicely on the floor, which is much safer, and slept through much of the journey.

 

At the eastern and middle part of the journey, the landscape was lush but the farther west we got, it became more savanna and eventually desert-like. Here are a few pics from Indiana, Illinois and Missouri. We missed some of the welcome signs and in some cases there weren’t any. So I have to depend on my memory. Well forget that!

 

Lots of wide-open space and windmills everywhere.

Not to forget! The famous Highway 66!

 

Taking pictures through the car window is of course not ideal. With limited time and five pups in the back, we couldn’t do any sightseeing. Bathroom and rest stops at gas stations don’t make for beautiful imagery. Oh, well. I tried my best to at least capture the changing scenery.

And here is our first pet-friendly motel in Missouri. Time to relax after a long day. The first day went without a hitch. Two more to go!

 

More later!
