Grand Arizona

Another great camping experience along the road. This time about 100 miles into Arizona. The Homolovi ruins(sounds kinda sketchy to me) where it seems geologists and naturalists of the over 50 club seem to camp. We might have spotted Jane Goodall searching for ruins of chimps but failed to stop and question the long gray haired, boots, shorts and kahki tone shirt wearing woman. We'll never know...

We passed through New Mexico and decided that they have the best sign so far, the chillies are a great touch. (on a side note Arizona might have the largest sign). Sadly we have come to the realization that our Armadillo count ends at 34 as Armadillo counrty ends somewhere near New Mexico.
Todays adventure began with a shower, as to rid us of the disguise that we are actually european travelers visiting the Grand Canyon. The Grand, as I call it, is pretty cool. As a first time visitor I (nate) thought that well it is(emphasis) a grand canyon. We did heed the signs and did not hike to the bottom of the canyon with only lead bricks, a rolling suitcase, and a mini bottle of water to aid us back to the top. No we just stayed there at the top taking pictures of the canyon and the many oddly dressed tourists.
As we left the Grand many signs told us of elk and with much resistance Nate did not jump headlong from the truck to search far and wide for antlers. Although he did stare intensely out the window for hours hoping to catch a glimpse of a horn. Alas such is his luck, the search only produced a large leg bone, and we kept driving.
So now we find ourselves in Williams, full from the down home Pine Country diner and its "world renowned" pie, we had blueberry. Now it's the Java Cycle and internet, complete with all the drama of friendships going awry in a small town(sorry I ease drop every now and then). {To those in the shop} I hope all turns out well with the boyfriend and the new friend that is disliked by some other citizen of Williams.
Okay back to road and it looks like Joshua Tree this evening. By the way time in AZ is a little off, no daylight savings here, so I have no clue as to what time it really is....
In the words of Willie "On the road again...." but with less, much less weed.
