Day 2 - Stranded and a recovery

After a day’s delay in Albuquerque, we’re headed off toward the Grand Canyon. We end up losing about half a day due to the maintenance delays. So, instead of 1.5 days at the Grand Canyon, well just have one day. If we really like it, maybe we’ll stay an extra day there and cut something short later in the trip.

Today we were stranded for most of the day; we dropped off our car at the Subaru dealership this morning. We didn’t see much of Albuquerque due to the fact that we didn’t have a car. We ate at this ridiculously gross greasy spoon for lunch and ended up eating more Pepto Bismol than we did food.

We headed out toward Williams, AZ (about four hours away from Albuquerque) at about 6:15 PM. The car seems to be running OK so far. Hopefully that will be the first and last incident.

After eating some gas station turkey sandwiches for dinner, we arrived in Williams at about midnight. We got set up and cleaned up and crashed. One, Two, and Pi all decided to share the (ridiculously) small bed with us. Very cozy.

Tomorrow morning it’s off to the Grand Canyon (about 1.5 hours north of Williams). We’ll get a good start in the AM and look forward to a full day.

Hey,

This website is great! I feel as though we are there with you all on your trip. I love the Grand Canyon, it is one of my favorite places! I hope the rest of the trip goes great for you. We'll be watching! Have fun and be careful.

Love Brandy and Dierk

Thanks - at least we recovered from the breakdown here in Albuquerque and didn't loose too much time!

We're having a blast, but I think our camper is getting smaller. hmph.
