The past couple of weeks have been great days of traveling and site seeing. We are currently at Meteor Crater, AZ about 35 miles outside of Flagstaff. We leave this morning for the Sedona and will be there for 6 days. I wanted to just update you with our travels since the last time I wrote.
Palo Duro Canyon in TX was everything we expected it to be. The campsites were in the canyon
itself so we had to drive down the winding narrow canyon road with a 10% downhill grade and several switchbacks. All of that is fine with a car but trying to do switchbacks with the motorhome and tow car felt a bit precarious. Barb is an excellent driver and was very confident, but careful, as we drove down. The campsite was at the base of one of the walls of the canyon. We had beautiful views, including sunsets and sunrises. I will sending pictures when I am somewhere with faster internet service.
From Palo Duro we went to Santa Rosa Lake State Park in NM. Santa Rosa is a small town on Route 66 and the lake is just north of town. We spent 3 days there. The campsite was high on a hill and did have somewhat of a view of the lake. There were some great walks in the park that were on a bluff overlooking the lake. Barb walked them everyday and I did once....hmmmm.
After leaving Santa Rosa, we spent one night in Gallup and one night here at Meteor Crater. Interestingly enough, this is really the site of a meteor that fell and left a large hole. The site is about 10 miles from this campground and they do tours of the crater. NASA and the Discovery channel have studied this area. We did not go to the crater to see it but someday plan to do so when we go through this area.
I will post pictures of the the canyon and the lake and update you on some of the funny and not so funny adventures we have had on this trip.
Chat later. Thanks to those of you who write and encourage me to keep this blog up to date.
Love and hugs to all of you,
Linda and Barb
