Just a couple of hiccups.......
Well, we didn't make it all the way to Flagstaff - 10 hours and 448 miles on the road was enough. We left Montebello at 5:45 am and made pretty good time most of the way. After stopping in Hesperia (Smart & Final) and Barstow (Shell gas) we kept forgetting to stop at the bank and get some cash. Finally, coming into Needles I remembered and we went to the bank there. As I was walking past the trailer I noticed we had a right rear trailer tire going flat - what a blessing we found it then. A Big-O Tire was across the street and in about an hour we had it fixed and were back on the road. Chuck said we picked up a nail shortly before we stopped and if we had kept going we would have paid for more than a flat repair. On into Arizona and our new destination of Cataract Lake County Park Campground in Williams, Arizona. After finding the road washed out, a few snow flakes on our windshield and an interesting detour, we arrived - only to find, due to County shortfalls, the campground has closed. On to plan B (really C) and we followed the road around to the other side of the lake where there is a Kaibab National Forest Campground. We're at 6800', have a beautiful site right on the lake, no hookups (we're used to that) and no one else camping here. Perfect! We are so grateful to be able to travel this wonderful country we live in and see the amazing sights along the way. Goodnight... (I'll post photos tomorrow)
