Day 20: Traveling to Tucson


Today we got an early start and traveled 269 miles to Tucson, AZ and arrived mid-afternoon.

Along the way, we passed through the Continental Divide.  The Continental Divide extends from the Bering Strait to the Strait of Magellan, and separates the watersheds that drain into the Pacific Ocean from (1) those river systems that drain into the Atlantic Ocean (including those that drain into the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea), and (2) along the northernmost reaches of the Divide, those river systems that drain into the Arctic Ocean.

Once in Tucson, Pat and I made another Walmart run as I needed two prescriptions filled plus a few groceries.  We also drove around town and discovered where the shopping village was located....just in case
 
George and I hosted dinner tonight and I made spaghetti and meatballs with a salad.  The weather was a perfect 70 degrees with a nice breeze so we ate outside and talked until bedtime.

TOTAL MILES DRIVEN:  2,459
