Stormed into Flagstaff!

Yesterday was an interesting day.  We said goodbye to our friends and got on the road.  It was a chilly 49 degrees!  It's a pretty drive from Taos down to Santa Fe.  It started warming up to about 75 degrees and we turned west in Albuquerque.  We could see rain ahead but little did we know when we got there it was a torrential downpour!  Of course I was driving, the temperature dropped to 47 degrees and it started hailing pea-size hail like crazy.  When the semi's pull over, you know it's bad.  Fortunately it didn't last too long.

We made it all the way to Flagstaff without incident.  It was just getting dark but we gained an hour once we got to Arizona.  We are at Black Bart's campground.  It has a pretty low rating in the Good Sam Directory but they have a really nice restaurant and we can stay hooked up (truck connected to the RV) since we are leaving this morning to go up to the Grand Canyon for two nights.

After we got set up we had dinner, Ted had steak and I had ribs...delicious.  The waiters all sing between taking orders and serving your meals.  Being named Black Bart's we had thought they would probably sing country music but they sing show tunes!  We had been here before a couple of years ago and enjoyed it and enoyed the dinner and music again last night!  Everyone is friendly and it was a nice end to the day.

Or so we thought!...Got to bed and a few minutes later the biggest, loudest lightning and thunder storm blew in.  Again, pouring rain.  Poor Max was pretty scared (so was I if I care to admit it)!  But, this morning the sun is shining even though it was only 44 degrees when I walked Max!  Brrrr...

Making it safely through the storms..."Ain't Life Grand!"
