This was another road day. We went from under 6,000 feet to 7,000 feet. Of course there was a lot of up and down between there. Through it all we got over 12.5 mpg. I'm happy with that.
We drove by Winslow, AZ. From an article I read I thought it was a small decaying place that was bypassed by I40. Not so. It's a pretty large town. I just have no idea why it's there. There doesn't seem to be any reason for it.
All the way along I40 past the AZ border are store advertising Indian oriented stuff. I guess that's about the only thing besides casinos that the Indians have to acquire money. There were a lot of casinos also.
Because Arizona doesn't believe in daylight savings time we gained another hour. That put us in at about 1:30 local. So after setting up we went back to Flagstaff so the dog could go to the dog park. We also got fuel. The dog socialized some, but wouldn't do retrieves.
We also explored the little town we're in. There are two gas stations, a pizza place, a restaurant, a post office, and a real estate office. There's also a golf course. There's a lot of houses here. They look like houses at Sunriver.
Before we left Flagstaff we had dinner - bacon pizza, cheese bread, and ice cream, the cardiologist special.
When we got back we walked around a little just to get some exercise. Then it was surfing and an early bed. I'm tired.
