We left Phoenix Sunday morning, heading north towards Flagstaff.
The Arizona desert vista is the most interesting we've seen so far. The boys were happy to finally see across the countryside the classic cactus that they had been expecting to find out here. Apparently it only grows in Arizona.
Since we were not just heading north, but also increasing in elevation, those cactuses (cacti?) were rapidly replaced by pine forest.
We stopped in Camp Verde AZ and had a good Mexican lunch followed by really delicious churros. We also liked the Coffeegram ad on their placemat.
As we drove, we again saw the snow capped mountain first viewed from Flagstaff on the way to the Grand Canyon.
At Flagstaff we turned eastward onto Route 40 stopping for a photo op in Winslow AZ and ending up at the Dancing Eagle Casino RV park in New Mexico for the night (not fancy but v. inexpensive).
We are about an hour outside of Albuquerque now.
