We left our hotel in Kingman at 955am. Bought a small pillow for Susie and some gas for the car and headed east on I40. America is Beautiful!!! Rocky mountains with flat tops. We listened to Sirius radio channel 58 Prime Country. We have 2501 miles to go… Put my feet up, pillow behind my head, head east young Chuck. Whenever we do one of our road trips, I’m always overwhelmed by thoughts of the early travelers, walking, riding mules, in wagons, having babies, and dying. Coming west. For land, for jobs, for freedom. Thank you brave travelers! Colors: stark, sepia, brown, dusty green, and straw. dusty. Elevations up to 7335 at the Arizona divide. I could feel the pressure in my head and chest. I’m very congested with the pneumonia and sinus congestion. My sinus were struggling today and I am trying to breathe deeply as my oxygen absorption was low withough oxygen in hospital! Devil Dog Road approaching Williams and the Grand Canyon entrance. We pass it by… Snow on the ground and tops of mountains on this first day of spring! Meteor Crater a National Landmark. Formed by meteor that hit earth out here 60,000 years ago! Astronauts practiced wearing moon suits and picking up rocks here in the moon scape near Flagstaff. Petrified forest but no trees!!! Dead River. I still can’t talk so to say "40 miles to the state line (New Mexico) get a hotel book at the welcome center" is an effort for me to say and a real effort for Chuck to understand. We found a beautiful hotel in the book. A Comfort Inn in Gallup. Checked into hotel in Gallup at 245pm and time for a short nap. Take out dinner from Cracker Barrel across the parking lot. All is well. Angels are with us. God bless us!
