Dear Briggz,
Well, I
would say that Zion and the Grand Canyon are awesome. But, as the government
shall have it, we have been locked out. So instead we travel along old Route
66. We actually found a nice place to stay named the Grand Canyon Railway
Resort. The thought was to hang near the canyon just incase we were able to get
into our campsite within our reservation time. The town of Williams, AZ was one
of the last places on Route 66 to be bypassed by the newer, faster, less
interesting Interstate 40. We took a stroll down what some old timers would
call memory lane, as the shops were filled with period auto memorabilia. The tunes
were from the 60’s and people would drive “slow and low”. Like a scene out of
the movie Cars, we were in a town of vintage gas stations and hotels. Lightening
McQueen would have high tailed it outta here. We thought that the town was kind
of cool. We took in a vintage Datsun auto contest. Who had the best, tricked
out Datsun? …. Wait a minute aren’t
those but Nissans now???
Ok, we had
a good time, it was quiet but we were able to enjoy the heated pool and hot
tub.
After three
nights with no movement in the government standoff it looks as if we are going
to miss out on the Grand Canyon and possibly some other parks as well. We
decided that we would head south to Tucson… Who knows where this adventure is
going to lead us.
