My family and I took the same procedure. I made our lunch boxes for us to eat in the ride. My husband watered our plants in the garden. My daughter finished some more school assignments. We left our house around 8 a.m. as usual.
I was surprised and happy to see the gas price has been gone down. The Tucson area always offers the lowest of the all areas in AZ. Their gas price of today was $3.59. I remember just one month ago, the gas price was close to $5.00.
Today it took us longer time than normal. There was heavy traffic starting from our neighborhood area. On my turn while I was driving the canyon area, there was a construction area where the road was narrowed down to only one lane on each direction with the construction dividers so that all the vehicles needed to drive 20-mph for the 65-mph road. On my husband’s turn the situation got even worse. In the middle of nowhere there was a construction area where the traffic was available only one direction only, the other direction was completely forced to stop for quite a long time. We finally arrived at the Navajoland at 6 p.m. which took us 2 hours longer than usual. We were exhausted.
The monsoon of this year must have been harsh for them. Our homesite area was completely covered by tall weeds. And the road on the homesite was muddy. Since our car is a 4WD sitting high, we didn’t have any issues to drive around. Sedan cars would get stuck at the entrance of the road.
We were all happy to see my mom-in-law and our chihuahua dog; Bucky. He was so excited for our return that he hung around with us all the time. It is always good to back to Navajoland. I felt my late dad-in-law’s energy being happy for our return.
