Still Heading Home


We left Barstow, California about 8 a.m. this morning and headed to the Meteor Crater RV Park about 36 miles east of Flagstaff, Arizona, a distance of 380 miles. The long drive between Barstow and Flagstaff was difficult due to strong crosswinds that made driving the Winnebago a chore for Paula and Julie. Ann and Lyn rarely feel the wind while hauling their heavy Airstream.

The Mohave Desert is rather dull at this time of year and once through the desert and into Arizona we were happy to see mountains and mesas and snow capped peaks off in the distance. The picture above is of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert heading east towards Flagstaff. If you double click these pictures they will enlarge. We are at about 5500 feet here and the temperature will be dropping to about 24 tonight.

We thought we would spend tomorrow driving the last leg home to Santa Fe, 370 miles away. But we don't really want to end our trip and decided we would stop at the Acoma Pueblo tomorrow and stay in Grants, NM tomorrow night. We will get home early Monday.
