Voltron fanfic: “Scattered” Chapter 12

Season 2 AU. No ships, K+ to T rating. Begin at the beginning here.

<> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> <>

Darzi bit back a scream as those shimmering eyes focused on him. A deep, growling voice issued from Kogane’s lips and yet echoed all around them. “Treachery! Deceit! You are not worth our efforts!” The foundations of the building shook with an impossibly loud lion’s roar.

Blackwell yanked the syringe out of its line and backed away.

“You demand answers to foolish questions and yet do not listen to my Paladin! Why should we help you? Why?”

The shaking grew worse as another roar sounded even louder. The distant sounds of panic among the Garrison woke Darzi from his fear-induced stupor. “That ship! Something about that ship is connected to him!”

The shaking was reaching earthquake levels, sending carts rolling. In a near panic, the medtech seized the sedative and ripped the cap off, driving the needle into the boy’s neck and pressing the plunger.

<> <> <> <> <>

Red! What are you doing?

It wasn’t like before. Before, Keith had been able to float and drift in the Lion’s aura, secure in the knowledge that he was safe here.

Now, the red-gold around him roiled and surged. He had to actively try to stay in one place, like swimming against a tide, even though he was essentially without form.

Red! Please!

I will protect you against these beasts!

And then he was pulled along with her, back into his body. He opened his eyes and felt her presence deep inside him. His vision was strange; he saw the two men in front of him, layered with inner glows. The stranger, yet another medtech with a terrified expression, was a sickly blue-gray. It gave Keith the impression of a toady, a craven follower.

Darzi’s glow was an oily brown, poisonous and repulsive.

What he could see of his own body shone white with blue and green tints. It reminded him of the glows that Allura had produced when she restored the Balmera.

Red was speaking through him, screaming her fury at his captors. He could feel the trembling of the earth. Something shifted and now he was seeing through her eyes as well. She had dropped the force field and risen to her feet, roaring and causing panic among the people around her. She opened her jaws and prepared to send fire among them.

NO!

He leaned into their connection and pulled with everything he had. The Lion’s head jerked up and the flames went skyward.

Paladin! They hold you, hurt you, defile your very being! You would be dead if not for the effects of the Quintessence you absorbed!

It’s not all of them! Not those people outside! It’s just the ones who follow Darzi. Please, Red! If they try hard enough, they could destroy you! I can’t lose you!

That made her pause and consider. Carelessly she brought back the force field, easily blocking the barrage of bullets and shells as the Garrison soldiers began firing back at her. She circled inside it, slowly and deliberately calming herself.

Suddenly his being was on fire. His vision snapped back to his own body and he felt the stab of a needle in his neck. His awareness seemed to be swallowed by impenetrable darkness.

RED! Where are you?

<> <> <> <> <>

While most of the personnel either ran outside to witness the lion ship moving and attacking or sought to get the students indoors to safety, Iverson led a dozen guardsmen into the medwing.

Someone he didn’t know, a captain with a nametag reading ‘Baker’, tried to stop them. “No admittance.”

“The hell with that! This is my school!” Two of the guards shoved the captain aside and the rest of them charged down the hall. Iverson turned a corner just in time to see Darzi and a medtech backing out of the room where young Kogane was being held. With a furious roar, Iverson charged forward and threw a punch at Darzi’s face. Darzi went down, clutching his nose as it began to bleed profusely.

“What did you do? You were ordered to stay away from him!”

The medtech swallowed hard, backing away from Darzi. “Two doses of adrenaline. One and one half doses of amotrazephine. Three doses of pentobexital.”

Iverson whirled and pointed at the nearest guard. “You! Get General Benítez and the highest-ranking doctor available now!”

<> <> <> <> <>

After Coran’s assurances that Pidge would only need an hour or so in a cryo-pod for a banged head, Lance convinced the Holts to help with preparations for the off-loading of the former slaves. Allura returned with the Arusian King and Klaizap and led a large group of people to a room Lance had never seen, with a large oval table and comfy chairs.

And for the first time, Lance saw Allura fully in her element as a princess. She introduced to each group in turn: the Arusians, the former slaves represented by Dr. Holt and Thel-myr of the Jocrai, and the Metreans represented by a pair of very large spidery beings called Luvixx and Xivay.

Lance was careful to sit as far away from them as possible.

Shiro and Hunk were there as well, but it was Allura who listened carefully to each group’s opening thoughts, asked the right questions to clarify what was a true need and what was simply a concern, and began negotiating the best possible locations for the former slaves and the Metreans. Lance knew she wanted to simply toss it all in their laps and take off for Earth, but she lived up to her responsibilities.

Things had progressed well enough that when Pidge and Matt poked their heads in Dr. Holt excused himself. He assured Thel-myr that he would send in Kltpzyxm to assist. Hunk also left, claiming a need to see to his Lion.

Once the door closed behind them, Hunk pulled Pidge into a bear hug. “I am so glad to see you! Are you sure you spent enough time in the cryo-pod? Is Green okay?”

Pidge returned the hug happily. “Yes, and yes.”

“Great! Come meet Varixian! He’s one of the Metrean techies – you’ll love him!”

Pidge’s eyes shone at the thought of yet more tech from a new civilization and she grabbed Matt’s hand. “What are we waiting for?”

<> <> <> <> <>

The doctor straightened, lifting his stethoscope from the young man’s chest and looping it around his own neck. He took one more look at the monitors, giving slow beeps and showing a very shallow undulating wave.

General Benítez lost her grip on her patience. “Well?”

“I’m sorry, General. It looks like the drug combination has sent him into a coma. There’s barely any brain activity at the moment.”

Iverson swallowed hard. “Is there any chance of recovery?”

“There’s no way to tell. It’s possible that letting the drugs work their way out of his system will be enough. Or it’s possible that this is permanent. Either way, I recommend moving him to the medical facility at Roswell. We can arrange the transfer for tomorrow.”

He led Benítez out. Iverson stood next to the gurney holding his former cadet and lowered his head, letting the guilt wash over him. If he’d tried harder to lead Kogane, channel his fury over Shironage’s disappearance in a positive direction—and Katie Holt’s, for that matter—he might have helped create the most talented pilot of his generation. If he’d fought harder when Darzi bulldozed in and claimed jurisdiction… If he had just gone to Benítez openly instead of trying to gather evidence through Perkins…

Instead they now had to wait and see if the boy was even going to wake up, much less fly again.

Iverson clutched Keith’s shoulder for a moment, then followed the others out, wiping at his eyes.

<> <> <> <> <>

Pidge’s eyes were aglow and she and Matt dug through Varixian’s kit. He explained each of the tools as they pulled them out and demonstrated when asked. Matt reached into a large bag and pulled out an object that looked for all the world like an early-generation cell phone. It even had a case with a loop for wearing on a belt.

“What’s this thing?”

Varixian looked and nodded. “That is a prey-stalker. It is a camouflage tool for hunters. Hunk had the brilliant idea of linking them into a net that was big enough to hide our entire camp.”

“Yeah, but then one shorted out.”

“That wasn’t your fault, Hunk. It was still a brilliant idea.”

Matt found a switch and thumbed it. To the others’ eyes, he vanished.

“Whoa!” Pidge nearly danced in glee.

“Did it work?” Matt’s voice came out of thin air, then Pidge realized she could see movement, as if the wall behind him was alive and shifting.

“That is so cool! I wonder if I can adapt something like this to use in our armor? Or even better, make it hide noise and movement as well as sight?”

“Oh yeah, and while you do that, could you please add the cloaking tech to the Yellow Lion? I really could have used it a couple of times.”

She nodded. “Sure thing. But these first! Matt, help me!”

They dug into the bag for more of them.

<> <> <> <> <>

Benítez watched from a window as that red lion ship paced inside its barrier. Nothing they had to hand had penetrated. Bullets and shells were useless. They had risked one small-load missile, only to have it bounce off the barrier and explode far too near the Garrison. Since then it had been stalemate. They could not damage it without trying a dangerous amount of firepower, but it had not repeated its terrifying warning shot of flames.

She scrubbed at her face and went to gather her computer and papers. She was leaving for Roswell in a few minutes to make absolutely sure that Kogane’s arrival would be expected and include top-of-the-line medical support. An Earthforce regiment would stay to support the Garrison.

She made a mental note to follow up with Iverson tomorrow about who else might have been part of Darzi’s final attempt. The medtech would not have had enough access to switch the schedules and put himself there alone. In the meantime, Iverson had his most trusted guardsmen on rotation to guard Kogane while the medical staff from the Garrison monitored him. No one else from Earthforce was getting near that boy except herself.

<> <> <> <> <>

Darkness. He was alone in the darkness. For an agonizing and unknown length of time he drifted in total blackness.

This wouldn’t have been so hard to take even two months ago. Two months ago it was him, alone in the desert, continuing to explore the caves and record more of the lion carvings. Two months ago he could go for weeks without seeing another human being, depending on whether he felt the need to make a run into town for perishables to supplement his supply of canned goods.

Two months ago, the only things that kept him from falling into suicidal thoughts were the approaching Day of Arrival as predicted by the prehistoric stories and long runs on his hover-bike.

Now, he had gotten Shiro back. He had somehow become part of a team, a team doing vital work. He had a soul-deep bond with a sentience that promised to always be there for him.

Now, the darkness was almost unbearable.

He began pushing, trying to move his awareness around. He looked for something, anything, that might give him direction.

Red, you promised! Where are you?

The shimmer, when it happened, was so brief that he thought he had imagined it. But he watched, concentrating on where he thought he had seen it.

And it happened again. A tiny streak of red light, zipping from him into the distance.

He followed, focusing on the direction it led. The streaks began to increase in frequency until they were almost a pulse. Keith reached with every fiber of his essence…

And the pulses coalesced into a gossamer-thin thread. He reached again, pouring all the strength he could muster into that thread…

…Paladin…

He could hear her! The thread shimmered again and seemed to gain substance.

Red! Red, I’m here!

…Paladin…here…

RED!

Inch by inch, he followed the line as it solidified and strengthened.

<> <> <> <> <>

By the time the negotiations were done, Allura was ready to collapse.

But she had succeeded. The Arusians had specified the amount of territory that they wished to keep as their own. The former slaves were going to use the supplies taken from their prison to begin constructing a settlement in a valley that bordered the Arusians’ chosen area. The Metreans were going to claim an area about two days’ ride away by speeder. It consisted of plains similar to their previous colony, next to the shores of a large lake.

As the last of the supplies were offloaded, Allura gave distress beacons to the Metreans and the former slaves. “I dearly hope these will never be used. We will return here as soon as we have gotten our Red Paladin back, start helping those who can to return home, and coordinate the search for more Metreans. We will also use the information that our Green Paladin has gathered to find more slave camps and free those prisoners.”

Luvixx interlocked fingers from all his hands in a complicated salute. Thel-myr put one fist to the opposite shoulder and replied, “May the winds blow at your back, Princess.”

She bowed and stepped onto the hovercraft, rising to board the Castle-ship. She strode briskly to the bridge and found everyone there. Shiro, Lance, and Coran were at their stations. Doctor Holt was staying to the side, out of the way. Pidge, Hunk, and Matt were huddled near Pidge’s station, tinkering with some contraption they had picked up from the Metreans and…Pidge’s Paladin armor?

“What are you doing?”

They looked up and Pidge launched into an explanation. “We want to be prepared in case we end up having to rescue Keith. Hunk and I were able to increase the capability of these camo units to hide us from sight and sound in case we need to sneak in somewhere. Matt wanted to know how powerful our jetpacks are, and I explained that they were meant for space maneuvers, not flight. He’s boosting their power so we’ll be able to actually fly in our gravity and atmosphere if we need to.”

“Excellent work, all of you! I do hope it’s simply a matter of letting Keith know when we arrive, but it does no harm to be prepared.”

“Um, Allura?”

She turned, frowning at the very hesitant tone in Lance’s voice. “Yes?”

“I know we need to get back here and help and all, but I…I wanted to know…can we see our families?”

Allura’s mouth fell open at that. How could she have forgotten?

“Of course, Lance! We’ll find a way for all of you to communicate with your families! There’s no question of that!”

He gave her a shaky smile before focusing on his control panel. She took her place and rested her hands on the steering poles. “All right, Coran. Enter the coordinates for System Sol.” She traded a grin with Pidge, who had suggested the name.

“As you command, Princess.”

<> <> <> <> <>

The Castle-ship emerged from its wormhole on the far side of Jupiter. From there, Allura was easily able to feel the Red Lion’s presence and initiated a second wormhole.

They emerged in a bright blue sky. They were well inside Earth’s atmosphere, approaching a large installation, and the four Paladins recognized the Garrison. Coran looked up from his monitor. “There’s the Red Lion! It looks like they’ve surrounded it, but it’s inside its force field!”

“Good,” Allura replied. “Now all we need is Keith. Surely we can hail him at this range.”

“I don’t see any evidence of damage on the outside, but it’s possible internal systems are still repairing themselves,” Shiro offered. “Zarkon gave the Red Lion quite a beating.”

She opened the link to Keith’s communicator. “Keith, it’s Allura. We made it. Where are you?”

They heard a startled voice and a clang of something falling. “Who is that?” An unfamiliar voice responded, sounding quite surprised.

“What?” As she paused, completely thrown, the Paladins seemed to react as lights began flashing on the buildings and people started running everywhere.

Shiro stepped forward. “Princess, the garrison is going into lockdown. We have to assume they’ve got Keith somewhere inside.”

She nodded and adjusted the controls so that her voice would carry on a wide spread of communication frequencies. “I am Princess Allura of the planet Altea. I am here to reclaim my Paladin and his ship, the Red Lion.” She paused and put some extra steel in her voice. “Where is he?”

Inside its shield, the Red Lion lifted its head and roared. Allura gasped, staggering as the Lion communicated directly to her in a cascade of images. The fact that the Lion was able to do this was quickly forgotten as she processed the information and exploded in anger.

“You imprisoned him? You drugged him? How dare you! Release him at once or face the consequences!”

“Cadet Kogane is a member of our forces, one who disappeared in suspicious circumstances. His actions suggest treason against Earth. We need answers!” The voice was bombastic but Allura could hear the high tones of fright in it.

Lance shouted, “He’s not a cadet, he’s a civilian! You kicked him out for being a discipline problem! That’s how I ended up fighter class!”

“You heard my Blue Paladin. You have no authority to detain a member of the Voltron team. Release him and send him to his ship, now!”

“Wait a minute,” a new voice broke in. “Is that Cadet McClain?”

Allura frowned, seeing Lance, Pidge, and Hunk all freeze in place. “Identify yourself.”

“I’m Commander Iverson. I’m the one who convinced Keith to come out and talk to us. Then Earthforce chose to double-cross me and took him. He’s being held in the medwing, section L5, under heavy guard. They’ve begun the process of transferring him to another facility.”

“Iverson, I’ll see you court-martialed for this!”

“The hell you will, Baker! You were one of Darzi’s people, weren’t you? He’s not here now to back you up!”

“Enough!” Allura snapped. “For the final time, release my Red Paladin and allow him to return to his ship!”

Baker snapped back, “Negative. You have no rights to an Earth civilian.”

Deliberately leaving the link open, Allura looked at Shiro. “Paladins, retrieve your missing comrade. Try not to hurt too many of them in the process.”

She broke the connection, taking a very un-regal satisfaction at the sudden squawk of panic on the other end.

Family Trip To Arizona and Road Trip There With 12 Towns Visited

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Throughout the year we take many short trips and a couple of longer family trips. One of the longer trips is usually a beach vacation the other is a national travel for about a week. This way we get diversity in our travels and have some fun experiences beyond just the beach. This year we traveled across the coast (first for us with the kid) to Arizona. There, we planned a car road trip through several towns making a circle from Phoenix and seeing the variety of experiences and landscape that Arizona has to offer. Many have asked us upon hearing that we are going to Arizona if we are going to Grand Canyon. After all, it is the Grand Canyon State, it states so on their state license plates. However, for this trip, we decided not to see the big hole. We have been there before, pre-baby, and we figured the kiddo was too young to enjoy it at this time. Getting Ready For The Flight For this trip, we decided to have two checked bags and two carry-ons as the major luggage. We also had our personal bags which were our favorite Lowepro bag, backpack with a cooler bottom, and a kid backpack. In the larger suitcases, we (and that means my wife) packed everything using the eBags packing cubes. She was looking to make packing and unpacking during the road trip easier without having to remove everything and repack as we had 7 pit stops along the way. She divided up the larger packing cubes into the first half of trip and second half of the trip. This way during either portion we only need to open one to take out the cloth for the day. It made a big difference in getting dressed quickly every morning and out the door for our daily adventures. The kid has her own bag, the Brica By-My-Side Safety Harness Backpack. It is still the one we have used from a couple of years ago as a tether, and now it’s a travel treasure chest of toys and games. She has her favorite travel dolls and animals there. Plus a collection of light balls, trinkets, and coloring books. Overheard on a plane flying across the US:

“I didn’t realize we will be flying over land the entire time.”

In Arizona, we had quite an itinerary for our road trip. It included 12 towns: Phoneix, Tucson, Tombstone, Globe, Roosevelt, Willcox, Holbrook, Winslow, Flagstaff, Sedona, Camp Verde, and Scottsdale. To get us around all of these places we rented a car from Silvercar. This was our first time ever renting from them. Silvercar operates a fleet of vehicles 100% Audi. They were actually recently acquired by Audi due to this fact and renamed to Silvercar by Audi. Our rental was the Q5. It provided plenty of space for all 3 of us and all of our luggage. The car was brand new with just over 400 miles on it. Most importantly when you rent from Silvercar and you let them know you are traveling with a small child they will include a car seat with your rental. This was huge for us as we didn't have to figure out how to get a car seat at a destination nor have to drag one on the plane. The car seat was also new and was already in the car when we got it. The only caveat was that we had to install it ourselves. Though after doing this a couple of time in my car and setting up one in the in-law's car, it was a relatively easy task that took about 10-15 minutes. The service we received from Silvercar was impeccable. While they could not deliver the car directly to the airport, they were waiting for us at the car rental lot. They also helped with full information on directions on how to get there. Moreover, they were communicating with us prior to the rental day, several times before we boarded the plane, and continued once we landed up until we drove off.

Our first hotel stop was at Crown Plaza - only 10 min drive away from the airport. However, the conveniences of this hotel ended there. We were very disappointed with it as it did not at all live up to its name. There was no valet or any info where to park the car when we arrived. There was a very lazy bellboy. When I dropped off my wife and kid at the main entrance with bags, he didn't even move to help them load them and bring inside. My wife had to strongly ask him to assist. The initial room we were given was very dirty and smelly. There were bottle caps on the floor and the sheets were covered in stains. We did get a better room after a complaint about the first one. It smelled better and was cleaner. Breakfast at the hotel was also bland and subpar. The positive thing that came out from this is that this hotel was the worst by comparison of all the others for the rest of our trip.

Off To The Adventure After a quick breakfast,, we were off on our road trip towards Tucson. No humidity they said. No rain in the desert they said, it will be hot they said. It rained all day on our drive and while we were in Tucson. It was supposed to be a scenic drive though we didn’t see that much due to rain. But we made the best of it. First stop was at the Whistle Stop Depot. While it did not look like much, after a couple of minutes there we found out how the name came to be. A locomotive train was going by and it was blowing its whistle as it was nearing and going through the spot. Though the trains no longer stop here, they still blow their whistle and it is a historic landmark. We walked around the town for a bit to check out the sites. Though with rain getting stronger, we changed our route a bit to make a straight line to our lunch place, The Drunken Chicken. We have heard about the west coast waffle and chicken and wanted to get some for ourselves and this place had pretty good reviews. We got a plate with waffles and mini chicken pieces plus one with chicken strips. The food was very good. Travel Tip: In most larger towns in Arizona, parking meters accept credit cards and have the zone and meter ID on it. Write these down. We parked in the old town and walked some distance away in our strolling. With walking and stopping for the food we almost missed the timer expiring on the meter. I had to walk back and get the car with a few minutes to spare. If you download the app of the meter and have its ID, you can add on time wherever you are without worrying about going over or rushing back. After lunch and a bit more strolling as the rain was finally over, we started out to our main destination in Tucson, the Tanque Verde Ranch. For dinner at the ranch a couple of times a week they have a Cowboy Cookout where they set up the food and table outside under the stars. To our disappointment due to all of the rain the feast was moved inside that evening. We did still enjoy a great bbq meal with tasty sides. And while she didn't get to ring the dinner bell, our kiddo got to announce dinner was ready over a microphone to the entire place. We were both surprised and impressed. The next day we had a full day of activities planned around the horses. While planning the trip we found out that the ranch had a kids club where they take your kid in the early morning and show them how to ride horses, have them ride horses, have meals, play time, and other activities. All of that without us having to be there. That meant that left us time to do our own stuff and be able to enjoy a horseback ride together. We went to drop off the kid early in the morning as they were scheduled for a breakfast ride. When we got there, we were the first ones to sign up. As it turns out, she was the only one to sign up for the club that day. Best of all, they still went through all of the activities and took care of her the entire time. She had a blast as all of the attention was on her. She got to learn how to hold the reins, ride the horse, have breakfast with us at the pit stop we took in the middle of our ride (she was driven to the spot on a golf cart), ride some more, play in the kid's area, and swim in the pool to cool off.

We had a great time on our ride as well. It took us through some awesome scenery, up and down hills, and a lot of cacti around us. The breakfast pit stop consisted of freshly made on the spot pancakes. After fueling up, we got back on the horses and took a different route back to the ranch. On the way back, I ended up behind a horse that was not very friendly. According to the rider, it tended to want to kick other horses. While I tried to keep my horse a bit back from this one, mine didn't have much patience for very slower horses and kept trying to get ahead. As we were coming around the bend, the rider on the horse in front pulled on the reins too hard and the horse started to paddle backward all the way right into mine. With the big butt quickly coming upon us and not really slowing down, my horse Flash had nowhere to go as down off the path. There was a bit of a drop-off and so I halted the horse before it decided to venture further down. And then it got its footing, turned around, and got back onto the path.

For me, the most dreaded part about riding a horse these days is dismounting. I have a history of getting my foot stuck in the saddle stirrups when getting off. I have fallen a couple of times because of that. Thankfully, the ranch had real stirrups that were full width and the same on each side. This has not been the case when took rides in the Dominican Republic and similar destinations. The room we had at the ranch cannot be called just a room. We had almost a full house. There was a large bedroom, a sitting room, large bathroom, many closets, an outdoor space, and a fireplace. We had the fireplace going the evening we got there as it was rainy and a bit chilly, plus the kiddo really wanted to curl up in front of it and read her bedtime books. Also the first evening we use the indoor pool. We were the only people there and had the run of the place. The next day, we swam in the outdoor pool and there were some more folks there as well. Overall, we had a great time on the ranch with great accommodations and even better service and people.

After the ranch, we traveled further south to Tombstone. A town made famous by the movie by same name, Tombstone. We arrived there late in the evening, just in time to get some dinner before most of the places closed down for the night after 8pm. The food spot we chose was the Big Nose Kates Saloon. We were surprised at how many people were dressed up like cowboys and clothing of the times. Waiters were dressed up, but so were some of the patrons that came in for a drink or some food. For the night, we stayed at Larian Motel that was only a block away from the main street. The manager there was friendly and gave us the keys to our room as soon as we pulled so we can get settled quickly since we were with a kid. The place was clean and comfortable, and quite accommodating. While in Tombstone, we had breakfast an Old West Chuckwagon. As we found out, it is run by a husband and wife team. Wife is at the front working as hostess and waitress, while husband is in the kitchen making the food. And delicious food it was. We had some of the fluffiest tastiest pancakes around. The eggs and bacon were also delicious, and the meal revved us up for a day of exploring. First stop in town was the BirdCage. It is a museum of the history of the wild west. It was a theater and a saloon all in one. There were shows put on stage, while a different type of shows was going on in the top balconies. It is $12 a person for adults, but worth the walkthrough as it pretty much covers all of the details and artifacts of the time. While there are other places around time, we found that this one included all in one space.

O.K. Corral is the famous spot for the gunfight from 1881. And they do have the show set up in the space set up for it, near the actual spot of O.K. Corral. While it is famous and most people go there, I went to see the gunfight at the Gunfight Palace. Wife and kid did not join me since the gunshots are very loud and kiddo would not be able to sit through the show. I enjoyed it. There was quite a bit of shooting and gun smoke. The acting was OK, the overall experience was great. After meeting up with the ladies we stopped into some stores to get a souvenir t-shirt that I get from all of our travels. Next, we took a ride on a stagecoach that took us around town and a bit beyond the main street.

As it was getting quite hot, next stop was the ice cream parlor. I and kiddo got scoops of ice cream, while mommy got herself a milkshake to cool down. After Tombstone, we started up back up North though more towards the East. Next on our itinerary was some boozing while kiddo is snoozing. We drove over to Willcox Wine Country and a couple of the wineries and after all of the day events, our kid passed out sleeping in the car. The first wine stop was at Golden Rule Vineyards. Not only did it have a great name, but it also has a great collection of wine and very tasty pistachios. They grow both grape and pistachios right on their property. We did a flight of wines to sample and we liked just about everyone. The type of wines they had here was right for our palette. And the pistachios most definitely so. We ended up getting a bottle of red wine and a 2lb bag of pistachios. Also, we got to taste some of their grapes right off the vine as they were just about finished with the harvesting. These were some of the best sweetest tasting grapes on the vine I have tasted, and I have tasted several as I love grapes.
