Today was pretty much only about getting home. We'll have tomorrow to recuperate and start cleaning out the RV before Barbara returns to work on Monday, and Bill returns to shopping, laundry, and cooking (although we’ll get the laundry started on Sunday and some of the shopping done).We did make a stop on the way home, though. We’ve both decided that the Roadtrek is too cramped for extended trips. It was fine last year for two weeks in the southwe...

Here we are at day 28 with several more weeks-worth of stuff to see and do. So, yes, we ran out of time. We're going into San Bernardino today, then head north toward home. We might make it tomorrow (Saturday) or stay one more night somewhere and get home on Sunday. We’ll play it by ear. Right now, we’re barreling west on the freeway.Kingman was overcast and threatening this morning. We got rain and some lighting over night, but it wasn’t b...

Found fall color in Flagstaff. Nice town. Headed west on old 66. We went through Williams, Seligman, Peach Springs, Hackberry, and into Kingman.

They even threw in some post cards. Oatman (west of here) is the only town left, but it's a windy road up a mountain with no guard ...

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,...

Went to Albuquerque and drove through on 66. Saw the Red Ball Café, home of the original Wimpy Burger. Neighborhood was funky; didn't stop. Saw a big roadrunner. Had to double back to get the picture. Outside of Albuquerque, we stopped at an Indian crafts store and got some fry bread, which Mom gobbled down. She also found a silver hair barrette. Went through the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest. Amazingly, the Painted Desert was open (it was closed for ...
