Efter en nat i "rigtige" senge hos Chuck og Valetta startede jeg med at vaske et par maskiner tøj. Her er helt vildt støvet, så tøjet fra vores quad-ture i går var virkelig snavset. Vi lod ungerne sove længe. Når vi er i vores egen bil, er alle nød til at stå op på én gang. Her er det noget andet. Vi tog en enkelt kop kaffe på terassen, mens vi ventede på ungerne. Da de kom snigende havde Chuck allerede store planer for dagen. Vi startede på et snedigt madsted, hvor vi fik mexikansk morgenmad - MED SODAVAND TIL!!! Det har vi s.. aldrig prøvet før, men maden var god. Forbudt for bedsteforældre: En quad er en 4-hjulet motorcykel. Og jeg siger jer Chuck har ikke noget børnelegetøj. Det er virkelig motorcykler.....men hvad kan der ... read more

Our travels today were only 177 mi. We left at 6 am though because we had several stops to make. At 7 am we had already reached the entrance to the Petrified Forest National Park because we went through a time change when we entered Arizona. The painted desert was amazing. The "forest" was a little disappointiing as they were all petrified fallen chunks of logs. I guess it's one of those things you can say 'been there, done that'. At least the weather cooperated and it was MUCH cooler today, in the 70's. Getting up in elevation around 6000 ft. After we left there, we headed to the Flagstaff KOA campground. Took about an hour to set up which wasn't bad since this is our first night on this trip camping. Then it was on ... read more

After driving for about an another hour and a half we meet are location at Flagstaff Motel named Econolodge were we will be staying in for two night. I was glad to be in the motel because I wont have to sleep in the car! I get my own bed with Bailey! Riding in the car was negative in some ways and positive. The part that was negative was that it was supper cramped and hot in the daytime. I also got carsick a lot and the heat did not help, so I was happy to be out of the car and sleep in a bed. Here are some of the pictures i took of the motel I took as you can see a picture of were Bailey and I sleep the T.V a couple of ... read more

14th, 15th & 16th April No, the bandits haven't got us! (or otherwise known as Flagstaff, Route 66 & Needles) Well, what to tell you. I think the fact that we only took one photo in Flagstaff says it all! It's not that it wasn't nice, in fact it was quite lovely. It reminded us a lot of Fernie, slightly bigger and a little more tired looking. I think it's just that having got used to taking photos of very beautiful places for the past two weeks, Flagstaff scenery just didn't match up. Fair enough there's a big hill there, with a ski resort and lots of outdoor shops, which we certainly made us of, but it didn't tickle our fancy like the National Parks. All in all, Flagstaff turned out to be a bit of ... read more
