Hey... second part of this set from south-east Arizona. ProMods remaining incompatible with SCS's newest product for the forseeable future is at least giving me a chance to see more of vanilla ATS...
Here we are continuing our journey north-east of Phoenix towards Show Low. It's been a spectacular drive.
These gentlemen are enjoying the view and a bit of bike-related banter. Would be cool if they looked like Hell's Angels but you can't have everything.
Back in greener climes as we near Show Low.
Finally. At the town that was Named By The Turn Of A Card. Yeah, I can use Wikipedia as good as the next guy.
Leaving Show Low, we headed further north towards Holbrook, the Town That Time Forgot.
Arriving in Holbrook, we noticed that something wasn't right with this town. It was infested with extremely agile, green, pygmy diplodocuses.
Just down the road, a giant vegetal elephant threatened terrified road users. Being herbivorous could be a problem among members of its species.
More diplodocuses, and a monument erected in honour of pistol-packing local hero Dryden Adams, who rides out every 4th of July for the ritual dinosaur cull
and does donuts all around town while Miss Lucy on the back blasts the prehistoric vermin with a shotgun.
Show Low? Wow How! Bow Wow? Racks, yeah.
Sadly, we had to leave the bizarre town of Holbrook behind us and head for Gallup just over the border in New Mexico. One last shot from that trip, then.
The next week found us back in Phoenix, and this time I'm driving. This old Peterbilt looks decent, though I think I prefer Kenworth. We've got another heavy job lined up.
Here we go....
Picked this mammoth.... thing... up from Sky Harbour Airport. Nice old bird outside. DC3 by the looks of it.
Up onto the freeway. We're going south to Sierra Vista close to the Mexican border.
2nd oversize job in ATS and so far it seems a lot easier to do the tasks than in Europe. Nothing to it really. But perhaps there will be some surprises in store somewhere down the line...
We had a rare spot of rain on the way.
Got to keep on mooving.
Passing Tucson.
Hope these are not diplodocuses in horse's clothing.
Coming off the freeway onto a smaller road leading to Sierra Vista. Wait. What is that green thing I spy down there?
I knew it!! It was a mild winter this year, now the darn things are everywhere.
The next day we picked up some loose rubble or something at Sierra Vista to take it for one last short hop to Nogales.
Sierra Vista is quite a nice residential town, with a titanic mall. That swimming pool sure looks tempting...
Heading south again after passing Tucson,.
Nogales, down Mexico way. Palm trees, malls, walls...
And back north once more. Off to Tucson to get the flags and Oversize Load sign removed. Got to find a garage to do that - no way I'm taking them off myself.
Next sets - back in the Baltics...
Cheers, Dan
