This morning we got up at 6:30 knowing we had a long day ahead of us. And it was. We left the Grand Canyon campground (Mather, which was great) at 8:15. We stopped in Flagstaff for gas, Petrified Forest National Park for lunch (which we really didn’t see because it would have taken an extra hour of driving), Gallup for some coffee (which was an unnecessarily long side trip) and Albuquerque for dinner (at the Artichoke Café which had a good review in the AAA book and was pretty good) and gas. We finally arrived at Rancheros RV park at 9:20 pm. People were grouchy. It was a long day. 488 miles.  We also lost an hour because of the daylight savings time thing with AZ. Hopefully we’ll have some fun tomorrow.
