Friday was a work day for me. I got up early (local) and started as soon as I could log in. A couple meetings and some other miscellaneous tasks occupied my time. Bingo took the kids on a necessity shopping trip. They also picked up a straggler, Normy the Gnome. You may see him is future pictures...
Pulling out of the RV place was as exciting as pulling in...
We got on the road later than normal, but early enough to get to Williams, AZ in the later afternoon. The trip ended up being longer than I expected, by a LOT. The trip is straight up the mountains, well, not quite, but it felt like that towing the trailer. The driving was slow and not so steady. A hot day in Phoenix created a little concerned about the bus. Up, up, up we drove, we didn't pass many drivers, but there was a lot of traffic.
The scenery is beautiful. We are still in awe of the beauty of mountains. The view was unbelievable.
On the advice of Merrellene, we stopped at Montezuma's Castle. The short side trip was worth the time. Very cool place. Lots of questions and the cliff house is fascinating.
Back on the drive, Bingo and I are impressed by the long flat, plains in between (and in) the mountains. Cool farms.
We found the KOA in Williams and checked in. I think we beat the rush as the are was mostly empty when we pulled in, but nearly full when I closed up for the night! There are LOTS of things to do and see here, close to the Grand Canyon. We chose to go to Williams for dinner and a shootout.
We LOVE Williams, AZ. Even the teenager thought it was cool! We wandered around and found a cool 50's restaurant, Crusier's. The kids got to go on stage and play backup for the singer! After dinner, we wandered historic Route 66, found the shootout, then an ice cream parlor. Big hit!
