We visited 8 cities in 7 days on our 
April 2009 American Cross Country Tour. We left from Sarasota and headed to 
Atlanta, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Portland, back to Salt Lake City, Houston, 
Atlanta and then back to Sarasota.  




We were looking forward to seeing clear skies on our America 
Cross Country Tour. On our first stop, Phoenix, we ran into hazy skies. Our 
resident expert tells us it is caused by auto pollution and temperature 
inversions that trap it in the Phoenix area that is surrounded by mountains.







Phoenix does it right with road gangs and making prisoners sleep 
in tents rather then an air conditioned jail.






It may be in the mid 80's here but there is still snow on these 
mountains in Utah. 
      

      

      

      This photo shows the white salt deposits on the outskirts 
      of Salt Lake in Utah. The lake covers over 1,700 square miles and is the 
      largest salt lake in the western hemisphere.

      

       

      

      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      

      
      
      
      
      Meet Emmi, a 23 year old entrepreneur, who started The 
      Little Blue Waffle Wagon along with Adrian. We met them on our 
      OurTown50.com America Tour, in Portland Oregon. She and her partner make 
      the best homemade waffles filled with apples and a variety of fruit, like 
      fresh grown Oregon blueberries. She has a small trailer located on a 
      gravel lot and was written up in Gourmet Magazine.  Portland is a way 
      funky town:)

      A tulip farm from our America Cross Country Tour in Portland, Oregon in 
      April. Luckily for us their blooms were delayed about a week until we got 
      there. This tulip field was around a half mile by half mile wide. 
      Unfortunately, tulips do not grow well in Florida. 

      
      
      

 

      

      

      

      While Florida's light commuter rail hangs in the 
      balance Phoenix's light rail started last December. We took the rail 
      system on our Tour Across America last week.

      for two ladies from Sarasota who started the web site.
