This will be the last post from Albuquerque, New Mexico. We're going to start to head west to Arizona and the Grand Canyon. Hope that we have bluer skies than we do so far. It's cloudy here but NOT raining so I'm not complaining too much.Dee just gave me some of her photos and I really need to share this one of Brenda and her new bluetooth.
As we're tooling down the highway, Dee & I are going to work on a slide show. I think I can add a flickr slideshow widget to this blog. Next time you read, there may be more pics. Catch you later.
We rode across I-40 out of New Mexico and into Arizona. I did work on a Flickr slideshow but haven't got it quite ready for you yet. Hope to have it ready before we get home :-)
Even in the motor home, it was a spectaular ride. Lots more trees in Arizona. Arrived inWilliams, AZ, got the bikes off the trailer and headed into Williams.
In case you didn't remember, it's Dee's birthday so we took her to eat at Pauncho McGillicuddy's. Can you believe that??? She had her steak, a little taste of salsa and then she had Creme Brulee for desert and the whole place sang to her. Here are some pics of that little soiree
We walked around town. Williams is located in the heart of the Kaibab National Forest at an elevation of 6,770 feet. Founded in 1880, Williams was named for the famous trapper, scout and mountain man, "Old Bill Williams." A statue of "Old Bill" can be visited at Monument Park, located on the west side of the city. The large mountain directly south of town is named Bill Williams Mountain.
Also known as the "Gateway to the Grand Canyon®," Williams was the last town in America on Historic Route 66 to be bypassed by Interstate 40. The community, bypassed on Oct. 13, 1984, continues to thrive on tourism.
That's it for Day 7. We're headed to the Grand Canyon tomorrow.
