Our next RV!!! haha...Mike in front of a "Retro Restoration" camper. The car is a Hudson! It was parked in front of the park we are in.

On to New Mexico!

Mar 23 - 28....There was definately snow between Kingman and Sun Valley - luckily it was no longer on the interstate as we passed through. Sun Valley is just east of Holbrook, AZ - it's just a spot in the road. The RV park we stayed at (Root 66 RV Park) was right off I40 & was quite noisy. We looked out to barren praire land (it made me feel right at home as it was very similar to north central Montana). We ended up only spending 2 nights there before we drove to Albuquerque on Friday. But first we did enjoy a great day in Hollbrook visiting a local museum and driving through and hiking in the Petrified Forest and Painted Desert. There are petrified trees or portions of them everywhere you look. They began forming about 225 million years ago when the area was covered with water. The park is filled with history. We are currently at Enchanted Trails RV Park (not sure where they got the name - we are again right off I40) just west of Albuquerque. Yesterday we drove to Old Town Albuquerque & along old Route 66 through town. Tomorrow we plan to drive to Sante Fe for the day!

Hike in the Mountains following the Colordado River at Cattail Cove State Park. This was a cove 1.5 miles into the hike. 

Moving Eastward!

Mar 15 - 21.....It's a chilly 31 degrees in Kingman, AZ. We had intended on leaving Lake Havasu on Tue and driving to our next destination in eastern AZ until we found out on Monday that snow was in the forcast for Flagstaff on Tue. We changed plans once again and just went as far as Kingman (about 70 miles) and spent the night in the Walmart parking lot. This was a first for us! By the time evening came the parking lot looked like an RV park - there were at least 10 RV's parked there for the night (everyone must have been heading east & didn't want to hit snow). I thought it was 'Spring'! Our destination today is Sun Valley, AZ which is near the Petrified Natl Forest & Painted Desert (it's about 60 miles from the NM border. The forcast there tonight is a low of 21 degrees - I think we are going the wrong way!!!!!! That's all for now - we will give you an update from our next destination.
