The Road Less Traveled

We took the truck rather than my sweet delicate little flower of an SUV so that we could do some traveling on the less beaten paths. Our first of these paths was a road leading from I-10 right into Green Valley, Arizona. Last year, the sun set while we were finding this road, so we drove it in the dark. We wanted to see what we'd missed, so we tried it again.
Dan and Leila followed us, since we thought we knew were we were going. The road was very rough in some places, but the views couldn't be matched by the interstate.
I was certainly glad not to be driving, and glad we didn't meet other cars on the mountain pass, but wasn't otherwise too nervous.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference
.

My mom's favorite Robert Frost passage...
Glad you went back and saw it in the daylight!
