Last Fall after enjoying the experience of a several camping / biking trips we decided to invest in a Toy Hauler - a Grey Wolf (not to be confused with the ‘gray wolf’ behind the wheel 😂). If not familiar, a toy hauler is just that; a camper that also hauls your toy, which in our case is Rob’s Honda gold wing. We now finally have a chance to use it and set our sites for Flagstaff AZ. 

Friday October 8th

First destination: DesMoines IA to visit Lauren & Cory. 

Saturday October 9th

We spent the morning strolling through the Farmers market downtown and sporting “Cory for City Council” campaign t-shirts.

 Another grand day! We decided since there was so much to see at the Grand Canyon, it needed another visit, so today we took the more scenic route and returned.  We passed interesting sites like this abandoned hotel, which was part of the Painted Desert Project which was started by a Navajo Nation physician. In addition to the many beautiful vistas we also visited the Desert View Watch tower  which was one of many structures designed by Mary Colter.  Today we made our way along the southern rim from the Bright Angel Trailhead ( you can make out the trail hundreds of feet below in the last photo) to the Hermit Trailhead. The pictures hardly do the views justice. As we were leaving the park we had the opportunity to view the local wild life grazing along the roadside.

 Well just when I thought I had nothing of interest to share on our blog….well I think the photo is worth a thousand words - the first one being WHOOPS! 😳 With the help of a few strong neighbors, we were able to get the bike back into the trailer so that we could drop the platform this time before backing out 😂. Time to come home!

 Farewell Flagstaff. Today we began our journey home. First stop was Winslow AZ, ( Such a fine site to see ). Rob was even standing on the corner near the flat bed Ford. 😉 I feel my blog wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t include at least one food photo, and today was the day! We stopped for breakfast at one of Derald’s fabulous suggestions ; La Posado, where I enjoyed “The Corn Maiden’s Delight”, and it was!  We arrived at our campsite early enough to set up and then drove the 28 mile road through the Petrified Forest National Park. Colorful small shards to massive trunks of petrified wood are strewn across the landscape. It is hard to believe that a pine forest once existed here millions of years ago, which was also the stomping ground of dinosaurs.   We then took the scenic drive on through the Painted dessert. More spectacular scenery, and apparently we were even picture worthy as a little Asian woman asked if she could take a picture of us on the motorcycle at on...
