Westward Hoe

Tried to leave Canyon, Tx. and Jerry noticed a screw head in the tire of the trailer. So this part of the adventure stated at Discount Tire Store in Amarillo, Tx. Two screws in one tire, about six inches apart. They got us back on the road in just over an hour. I've purchased from them in the past, and most likely will in the future. Took off and hit some head winds for about 100 miles, then the winds eased and we headed toward the west. Made it to Gallup, NM for about a 440 mile trip and decided to stop for the night. We had planned to stay at a Walmart paring lot. but we heard the night temp was going to be in the low 20s. So we ( I ) chickened out and we got a spot at USA RV Park. We got some sleep, ate showered and were okay. The park was clean, not memorable, and seemed a little pricey. Left Gallup and continued on our journey toward the Grand Canyon. Made it to Flagstaff, Az. in good time and did some grocery shopping. We planned to cook a couple of nights for Robyn & Ric so we needed some supplies. Last night we ate at R&R's and had rib-eye steak dinner. Great. Tonight we had corned-beef,cabbage, and red potatoes. Pretty darned good. That's all for now, got to get some handsome sleep(much needed). Lots of Love to all, Cris & Bob
