Wake up was early today, around seven to eight in the
morning. We had a long breakfast with the relatives that we had stayed with, it
was sort of a comfort for us to do that.
When we did leave it was close to 10:30. But we weren’t on
the road long, we stopped around a half hour later at a small “ghost” town
called Oatman, no Joke that is what it was called. We spent around an hour and
a half there, walking through all of the stores. Bought a few things, took some
pictures the usual. And then we were on the road again near 11:45, or something
like that.
To actually move on we went through the only road the town
had, which had a lot of Donkeys, thankfully the Jackasses didn’t impede us too
badly, and I'm talking about the animal not the person alright so don't go attacking me. With through the town we had a windy drive up the hill.
We eventually get through the mountains/hills and back to a
highway, oh thank you.
For a good while we are on said highway, then we come across
our next fuel stop, at 12:40, sounds like lunch time to me. Though sadly it
took as a bit just to be able to get some gas. Some of the drivers at the gas
stop were impatient and decided it would be a good idea to try and block a few
RVs and make it difficult for said RVs to both pull up as well as get out.
Never a fun thing to have to deal with, but then again it was a Flying J so
things like this happen, even if it is annoying.
Well, after we got that sorted out, we truly did indeed get
some lunch. It was mostly what we could find around the RV, it seemed to have
been good. But in time we finished our lunch and was back on the road near
1:15. More Driving, so much fun…
We traveled in relative silence
for a good while. To be honest it was uncomfortable, extremely so. But that is
most likely do to the fact that I finished reading what I had to read and thus
got bored…really bored.
But I eventually found a few
things to do and settled in for the long ride ahead. It did hold me over until
we arrived at our stop for the night, or day really. Our stop came around 4:45.
But we didn’t stay to relax long. We plugged in the RV unloaded the car and got
ready to leave in quick flash. Getting ready for a trip around the area. The
area belonging to the Grand Canyon.
That is right, we stopped at the
Grand Canyon, also known as a giant hole in the ground. As you can tell, I didn’t
think all that much of our visit. It was long and according to different clocks
it took us around five to six hours, a mix of walking and driving, and later
having dinner and then a presentation. That presentation wasn’t the best and
sort of ticked me and my dad off. But anyways we got back to the RV.
Once back we dealt with needed and
well went about the night. But tomorrow starts anew and a full day of travel,
and no real stops planned. So it should be an uneventful day, knock on wood.
