The Road To Flagstaff, Arizona

April 13, 2006 by randomguru

Yesterday, the family and I drove all the way from San Diego to Flagstaff, Arizona. It turned out to be a 9 hour drive, including rest stops and a couple of detours to a gas station. So, Wednesday was spent just getting to our first destination.

The trip through Arizona was pretty much uneventful. Just miles and miles of dry, desolate desert. Many times, the road was one straight line for miles and miles. But it was sunny and warm… a dry heat.

There was a bit of heavy traffic when we reached the outskirts of Phoenix. I saw the skyline in the distance, but we had to take the 101 Loop to I-17 which led us straight toward Flagstaff.

We stayed overnight in Flagstaff, and today we journey to The Grand Canyon. Hopefully, I’ll be able to take some really good pictures. The day looks sunny so far.

At 5,000 ft. elevation, it’s cool up here.

A few summers ago my whole family took a road trip to California from Chicago. On the way back we swung through Arizona, then the Grand Canyon. It was one of the best times I’ve had. Drive Safely!

Sue: You’ll have to tell me how close I was. That’s amazing! Oh my, on the way back there were major gusts of wind!

Sammy: That’s cool! Thanks. We’re in Scottsdale right now. I have a gig here tomorrow!
