Sorry to be keeping you in suspense! Didn't feel like posting on Thurs nite and last nite we had no internet service.
No pool time. Up and at'em and final packing. at 7:15 I delivered the last of the grocery items to Blanche. By the time I turned in the keys, ect, I think we were on the road by 8:30. Headed out the Bush Hiway past Usery Park and Saguaro Lake. Just gorgeous views. Sun wasn't fully out-so kind of hazy. Renee was amazed, too, at how fast the saguaros disappear once you start climbing. Stopped again in Payson for breakfast at the Bee Line. GREAT cinnamon bread french toast and yummy bacon along with an egg. Also made a stop at the quilt store there. Still has a great selection. There's always room for fabric-so we added to the collection. On up the road to Holbrook to catch I-40. What to our wondering eyes should appear but the WigWam Hotel. If you've seen the movie Cars, remember
the wig wam or tepee sleeping huts? They're based on the one in Holbrook. Now I have to watch Cars again! They're so cute-couldn't see in any windows, though. Quite a collection of old cars, along with an old Doc Hudson and a good looking Mater. Out of the big city and out of the mountains, Renee took over the wheel. It was kind of nice to go back the same way today. Get a different perspective of the same views. Glad to do that! Part way to Albekwerkie, the wind really picked up. Blowing dirt all around. No white outs, but dust, for sure. She was hanging onto the wheel, as I was reading a weather bulletin citing strong winds for the afternoon. Once we got to the east side of Albekwerkie, the winds were some less. Stopped in the middle of nowhere -Clines Corners for gas and to switch drivers. Paid $4/gallon here. The wind was still blowing hard here. I took us the rest of the way to Santa Rosa. We ate at the Silver Moon-the service and food was better last year. Checked in for the night.
