Because Arizona is goofy with its time, we crossed two time zones in two days on the trip home. Actually, it’s because Arizona is *not* goofy like everyone else is, and eschews daylight savings time.
Crossing time zones though has great impact on what time dawn arrives. From one side of any time zone to the other, sunrise and sunset times vary by about an hour.
In Phoenix, the sun rose an hour before we got up each morning. This morning in Fort Stockton, close to the western edge of Central Time, it was still way dark when we got up at exactly the same time!
We’re glad to be back in Texas. We’re deep in the heart now; almost home.
