Checked out of the Wigwam Motel and went to Joe and Aggie's for breakfast. Stan (who used to run it with his wife, but now has returned to his first career as a barber) has his barbershop out back of the restaurant, and I finally got my hair cut. After that (I was feeling light-headed), we went to the Navajo County Museum in Holbrook. We found out about the Arizona Passport, which is a gimmick that they came up with to get tourists to stop at various places, primarily along 66. It’s free, so we got one, then got our first stamp: Holbrook. That wasn’t hard. Now all we have to do is find nine more obscure tourist information centers. But that’s part of the fun.
We stopped at the Jack Rabbit trading post, then to Winslow and the La Posada Hotel, which used to be a Harvey House. It’s a nice hotel—very upscale. It would be nice to stay there sometime.
Lunch was very interesting. We made sandwiches in the RV and ate at a table at a rest stop in Winslow. As it happened, there were three people sitting close by at another table. They were Native Americans, an older man and a younger man and woman. They spoke in both English and in their native tongue. The older man started singing, and the younger man got up and started to dance. He said it was a rain dance. He was going to go home to watch the weather to see if it would rain in three days. I think I’ll check the Flagstaff weather on Saturday.
And here we are in Flagstaff. Very nice campground.

belinda I see you're headed north!! Maybe you can make it to Idaho to the Dog Bark Park Inn? Seems to be a cool place. http://www.dogbarkparkinn.com/
wjmccain That would be a great place to stay! Another 4 or 5 days tacked on to the trip to get there wouldn't be a problem, now, would it? woof
Leigh Ann Wow, we stayed at that very same RV Park when we took our big road trip 5 years ago.
