Day 6

 Day 6

We woke up to a white wonderland this morning. Then drove through snow, sleet, and fog the entire way to the Grand Canyon. As we walked up to the rim of the canyon the fog lifted and the sun came out. It started snowing again until we got to the 2nd stop along the rim and then the sun came out again.



Today we traveled 466 miles from Flagstaff AZ to Grant NM 

We made side trips to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon 










And The Petrified Forest.






Got a few pictures of  some animals native to the area, Raven, Antelope, and Elk, We also saw some mule deer and a coyote, but we didn't get to see the roadrunner.    

                    



And a few pictures along the way

 Day 9 Final posting day until further notice. Today we traveled from Columbus, Ohio to Sharpsburg, MD to drop off Karl, then to Brushtown, PA to drop off Gene, and finally to my home in Glen Rock.  We had lunch at the Waffle House in Hagerstown, and hand dipped ice cream for desert at Nutter's in Sharpsburg.  It is our hope that we will be able to return to El Centro in the near future and finish the ride to the Atlantic ocean.

 Day 5 We travelled from El Centro, CA to Flagstaff, Arizona today. That would be quite an accomplishment for 3 old guys, huh? I guess we should explain. Complications have caused us to return home earlier than we had hoped. So, we rented a pickup truck in Imperial, CA yesterday, loaded the bikes and gear into the truck and are heading back to Maryland and Pennsylvania. We will still be posting pictures and experiences along the way until we reach home.  Stopped at Hugh T Osborne Lookout Park to see the sand dunes and watch a few offroad vehicles driving through the dunes. Had a very tasty Cod lunch at Times 3 Family Restaurant in Quartzsite, AZ and dinner at Chick Fil A tonight.  We drove through a snowstorm near Flagstaff, AZ.  We are hoping to finish tomorrow in Albuquerque, NM.
