Headed back to Texas after Christmas, but the cold weather followed us. Had record breaking low temps, not fun. Frozen pipes, lost electricity, just as bad as in CT.
Tony's buddies from Campfire Club visited for some duck hunting...... and broken down outboard motors, freezing temps. At least they got some ducks which they froze and took back with them.

David and Mike returned,
and we went out for crawfish |
After the guys left, we headed east to Florida, with our usual stop in Biloxi for dungenous crabs....

Driving back to Texas, we took the scenic route through the Salt River Flats in AZ, so beautiful!
 |
You can barely see the Salt River near the center.
This area is called Arizona's mini Grand Canyon. |
 |
This is the Salt River at the
base of mountains of about 7000 feet |
Next stop was Amarillo, and the ever quirky Route 66, where we didn't miss the famous Cadillac Ranch:
