I dag kan vi hente bilen, som bliver vores hjem de næste 3 uger. Ann og Bob er kørt i forvejen med alle børnene. De skal til Flagstaf til en park hvor de kan lave ”Treetop adventure”. Peter og jeg er efterladt i Phoenix og kan ikke få bilen før kl 14. Da køleskabet hos vores værtsfamilie er gjort ferieklar og dermed er gabende tomt, er vi tvunget til at spise morgenmad på Denny's og bruge resten af formiddagen i poolen. Man kan ikke holde ud at være andre steder, når temperaturen ligger på 45 gr. Klokken 14 henter vi bilen og vender snuden mod Flagstaf oppe i bjergene, hvor temperaturen er mere menneskelig. Mads og Ida har glædet sig i 3 år til at besøge Chuck og Verletta igen. Uncle Chuck har verdens største samling ... read more

Départ à 8h30, 30 443 miles au compteur. Arrêt pour faire quelques photos des Vermillon Cliffs. puis nous continuons quelques miles de plus jusqu'à Marble Canyon où nous passons sur un pont métallique au-dessus de la rivière Kanab Nous reprenons la route vers Flagstaff. Nous nous arrêtons un peu plus loin pour faire le plein d'essence, 9,722 gallons pour 34,80$ et 30 607 miles. Nous nous arrêtons un peu avant Flagstaff sur un petit marché local. Nous arrivons à Flagstaff à 14h00 où nous prenons notre repas au restaurant Sizzler, très bon. Nous arrivons finalement à notre motel, le Luxury Inn, à 15h00. Basic, moins luxueux que le Rodeway In de la veille, mais la wifi fonctionne parfaitement. Nous nous apercevons rapidement que la voie ferrée est juste de l'autre côté de la route au bord ... read more

Bill and Rick rode directly from Henderson to Flagstaff because they planned on seeing the Grand Canyon the next day while I got my oil changed. I stopped at the Grand Canyon on my way to Flagstaff to get a stamp, coffee cup, and postcards. And take a couple of pictures. I ended up staying several hours and took hundreds of pictures. I was fortunate to be there while the sun set; it was one of the the most spectacular experiences I have ever had. I will try to describe it better when I write my blog, hopefully today after I get an oil change. Another 12 hour day - over 300 miles. https://picasaweb.google.com/103671248113620284938/Day26?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCJi1lZ2xsN2LrwE&feat=directlink... read more

We woke up to a beautiful, cool sunny day. Ken made lattes for everyone. We didn’t cook a big breakfast. Ken had fruit, I had my waffle, Larry and Henna made a sausage sandwich. After showers, we headed in to Flagstaff. I need to sign some contracts, paperwork for my new job. As we drive through Flagstaff, we notice how much it has grown up. We had driven through Flagstaff a few years ago, but didn’t stop for anything. The guys dropped Henna and I off at Office Max and went to get gas. I got everything accomplished, the guys showed up and we headed back through Flagstaff. Ken wanted to stop for lunch at an Irish Pub he spotted. We found a parking spot and walked to the Pub. We each split Fish and Chips ... read more
