Left Tucson at about 10:30 am and arrived in Holbrook around 5:45 pm. After a short walk around town, we found the KOA campground, had an outdoor dinner of leftovers, then settled into the Jeep for the night. It only got up to about 90 degrees the day of the 12th and it dropped to the lower 50s or upper 40s in the evening.
The drive only covered about 240 miles, but it was mostly mountain driving (and we stopped here and there to take in the views).
This video and the next are a lot of driving. With leaving Tucson we were beginning our return trip, and I wasn't sure how long it would take to get home. Actually, I wasn't sure if I was up for 500 and 600 mile days of driving, so I wanted to give myself plenty of time and drive as much as possible early on. There aren't a lot of stops on the return trip. We arrived in Holbrook kind of late; we stopped at a fort in Bluff, Utah; we drove through Moab without stopping (sadly). We stopped briefly in some towns in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, but it was mostly driving and sleeping in the Jeep until we got to Galena. This video, however, ends with the last of the footage from Arizona.
Below are some links for information on tracing DNA back to our beginnings. So much more to it than just that, but more than I can realistically put into my "video details". The book and video series' (there is more than one series) answer questions about the population explosion in the 1400s, the movement of peoples around the globe, where some of the native American tribes came from, what happened to the ancient Romans, Persians, Egyptians, etc.

There is still much work to do, as this is essentially a new field and is rewriting history in real time. It is also stirring a hornet's nest of enemies - whenever one challenges the conventional, or the long-held beliefs of the establishment, there is bound to be pushback. I pray that Dr. Jeanson's efforts go well, and that the truth comes to the light, and is not hidden by those with motives for profit and politic. The truth that we are all descended from Noah and his sons and their wives, and thus from Adam. That we are all one race and one blood. We are all descendants of Adam who, through his disobedience to God, brought sin and death into God's perfect creation; therefore, we all need redemption. We all need the gift offered to us from the second Adam, Jesus Christ, the son of God, our savior and redeemer.
"As it is written:
'There is none righteous, no, not one'" ~ Romans 3:10
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus." ~ Romans 3:23-26
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." ~ John 3:16
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'" ~ John 14:6
