We got off about 9am heading East towards Flagstaff on I-40. This is one of the roughest roads I have ever driven on that was considered to be paved!
But the road stayed bare of snow and ice…just truck after truck after truck…
I had to speed up a bit to keep from being a traffic hazard…I only got 7.2MPG from Kingman to Williams! Still pretty good hauling that trailer through the mountains. Here are the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff: old volcanoes!
From Flagstaff we headed down to Clarkdale on I-17. It was >>almost<< as rough as I-40! They have 18 miles of it marked as steep with a runaway ramp and warnings to save your brakes.
In this two photo panorama you can see the red rocks of Sedona on the right, and the mountains with Jerome straight ahead. Clarkdale us immediately below Jerome, near the center of the photo….
We got in to our RV Park a little after 1pm. After backing into our spot, unhitching, setting up the electric, water and sewer hoses, we were ready for lunch. We tried a new spot for us: the Red Rooster Cafe in Old Town Cottonwood.
Here is a large egg mounted on the wall…the food was really good!
Once we returned to our spot, we kind of got lonely because our neighbors had not yet shown up. They hope to make it by February.
The Dailylife Wife put a few things away and called it quits. We were both exhausted! She called her sister; I called the Dailylife GrandDad.
More tomorrow as we fix and sort!
