Heading Home

I finished up checking the tire pressures this morning and after doing a little grinding with Barry's Dremel tool the wheel cover went on much easier than it came off.  I finished unhooking and putting things away, returned all of Barry's tools I had borrowed, then I went in and took a long hot shower in their house before we headed out at 9:58.  We had a great time at Barry and Mona's but we missed home.

Barry and Mona were out looking at their new pile of gravel as we left.

We filled up at Fry's to use up our rewards and headed towards I10.  I programmed Google Maps to use the same route we used going to Grand Canyon for part of the trip as I kind of knew the way.  I started seeing reader boards saying 74 was closed because of an accident and about then Google Maps changed our route to take us around it.

Then we had to use the windshield wipers for the first time since January.  At one point the rain changed to half snow.

There were lots of rock formations for Vera to take pictures of.

As we got up by Kingman the winds really started blowing so the second half of our trip was pretty interesting.  Things got better when we got off 40 and onto 93.

We saw some beautiful clouds as we went through the mountains.

We saw an Arizona Tourist Information sign that pointed toward Chloride which was four miles off 93.  The first thing we encountered was a small herd of cattle crossing the road, it is open range country down there.

We drove up the road and found the Chloride Western RV Park which I had seen on a website Barry had told me about.  We pulled in and wouldn't you know it I had to back up to pull into the site that was available.  I am getting better at it because it went great.  Chloride has a lot of history, if I wasn't wanting to get home we would have done some exploring.

I took a short walk after dinner and discovered this rainbow.

Then on the way back to the RV park I took some sunset pictures.
