After getting settled in at the KOA, we took one day to drive up to Flagstaff to look for the Chamber of Commerce to get some info on things to do in the area. We ended up going there and the Visitor Center, which was right across the street and doubles as the Amtrak station, too. We thought as long as we were there, we'd walk through the old historic district of Flagstaff.

A colorful Rte 66 sign

I seem to be in a rut, here, it's been a month since I last posted, almost the same amount of time I let lapse the time before that, at each place we've been..hmmm...I'm going to have to get better at posting on a more timely basis...

We are now at the Grand Canyon KOA, we got here on May 11th. On the way here, we took the Rte 66 loop out of Kingman to Seligman and then got back on I-40. It's a very scenic road in the high desert, we even saw some Burma Shave signs.

For those who have never been to Las Vegas, the good shows are very pricey, but, there are deals to be found. A case in point, 2 years ago when we were here, we wanted to see the Blue Man Group. Average tickets are around $150, but, we managed to get them for $15 each if we would go hear a sales pitch for timeshares. So, like I said, there are bargains out there, you just have to look for them.

We were supposed to leave tomorrow, but, a part for our Shurlo water pump, that was supposed to be sent last Monday, instead got sent on Wednesday. It's supposed to get here on Tuesday, so we're going to stay another night and see if it appears. We had planned on getting to the Grand Canyon KOA, where we're going to be working for the summer, on Tuesday and we might still get there on that day, but, if not, Wednesday for sure. We start work on Sunday the 15th.
