Ok then, things have been a bit hectic, or busy, etc!
I have now been on the road for just over two months, and had to set my alarm for the second time. Talk about stress!
After camping out with the desert Bighorns that we did not see, we cruised into Quartzite again. The flea markets are tempting with all kinds of cheap stuff for cheap prices! So I bought a few odds and ends that will never be used, as well as some sunglasses and some tools and handy things to have in a camper. Before we knew it the day was shot and happy hour was upon us, so we only made it a few miles north before pulling off into another free camping area with widely spaced RV's in the desert.

There was a pretty nice sunset, and lots of room to spread out. One unfortunate part about being out in the wilderness in these parts is that even though everything around you is peaceful and quiet, there are always planes and jets overhead that mark up the sky even if you don't hear them. It is definitely a quieter sky in Baja - or at home!












Speaking of home - this is the view out my front window right now on my web cam. Looks like a nice sunny day, high of 0 (32F). But look at the snow drooping off the edge of the roof. In the 'live' view, I can see motion along the left side of the picture - so I can tell that my furnace is running and blowing hot air up along the window on that side.















The next day, the route went north along the Colorado River through Parker, AZ, then through Lake Havasu City where we enjoyed filling up with the cheapest gas so far (?) at $2.09/gallon.
Then up to join the Interstate again at Kingman, AZ and follow a section of the famous Route 66 as well as a part of Highway 93, which starts at Jasper, Alberta and extends all the way down to near Phoenix. The plan (not to be mistaken for random wandering like you might have thought) was to try and meet up with some friends from back at home who were staying for the week in Sedona, AZ, just south of Flagstaff. Ran out of time and light along the interstate, so found a quiet little clearing in the junipers that served as a campspot, and phoned them to arrange a meet.




This is getting up into some higher elevations, so the overnight temps actually dipped beow freezing. What are we doing here! Thursday, the alarm went off at 0600 and I met my friends in Flagstaff (also high and cool, but sunny) and we drove out to visit a couple of National Parks to the east including Canyon de Chelly. (Check the link) It was a long day of driving, and we made it back into cold windy, dark Flgstaff, well, after dark, and rescued Harley from a rather cold camper.
Fortunately the drive down to Sedona is at lower elevation so it was not nearly as cold there.
Some Bbq chicken and some cold beverages rounded out the day.

So here we are on Friday morning in cool but very scenic Sedona, formulating a plan and a route that will take us once again into warmer climes. Maybe Phoenix, Tucson, or New Mexico?

Times a wasting, better get a move-on.
