Best Western Flying J Motel Ehrenberg

Heute morgen sind wir nochmal in den Grand Canyon Nationalpark. Dort sind wir dann ans Rim gefahren und sind dort 1,5 Stunden entlang gelaufen. Dort trafen wir das Klischee eines Deutschen: Bierbauch, Sandalen, den Foto auf dem Bauch und lautstarkes - zudem "Schwäbisches Babbeln"....Diese wussten nicht das wir auch aus Deutschland kommen und dann ...

I will preface this entry and the following ones with the fact that my computer had a major malfunction and had to be serviced in Yuma and hence no entries to the travel pod. We all prepare to leave for our journey to Parker Arizona. Todays drive will be about 110 miles. We will going through the towns of Needles and Lake Havasu City on our way to Parker. Drive is quite uneventful with yet another day of sunny skys and light winds. We stop right off the bat at the ...

... Now to the play offs. Oh brother, did he say to lose! We were neck and neck with our opponents. They pulled ahead, leaving one of their washers right next to the 5 pointer hole. On my last washer to throw (I missed the holes with the first two) I took aim and shoved their washer into the hole, making them the first to make 21 points. They were brand new members to the Escapees and our chapter. Had to make them feel good! They went on to the ...

... in our dreams right now. We have an inverter that we can fire up the computers, internet and TV. But I need the generator to dry my hair or use my curling iron. We have two LP gas heaters we use so don't have to turn on the furnace. So far, we are going okay. An adventure! Today, Dale and I ran to the tents to pick up our badges and get some breakfast. At ...

We left California on Monday, taking a slow trip to Phoenix International Raceway for our long race weekend. Stopped here in Ehrenberg, Arizona for a couple of nights. It's so hard to believe that it's the beginning of winter in much of the country, as it's approaching 90 degrees here at 8:30 in ...

... They were very warm, relaxing, and didn't smell all sulphur-y like the ones at Glen Ivy Hot Springs! We used them almost every day we were there, along with the swimming pool, which was also hot-spring fed. On Thursday last week we drove the car back to the "old neighborhood" where we did some shopping, picked up some mail, had lunch with friends, Rose went to the dentist, and then we saw Kenny Rogers in Concert at San Manuel Indian Casino ...

... of Saguaro cacti dotting the landscape and 3,500 foot Picacho Peak rising from the desert floor. Picacho in Spanish means peak so I suppose the name is a little redundant, but it is an imposing image nonetheless. The peak has been used as a landmark for travelers and explorers for over three hundred years and is mentioned in the records of various expeditions as early as the ...

Taking the car, Kyle and I drove out to the Grand Canyon, passing through Sonora which is a beautiful city set into the backdrop of misty hills and mountains. We had to stop here and take pictures, it was just that breathtaking. Unfortunately those pictures didn't turn out as it was still early morning and the sun was not in the right spot. Also breathtaking was our brief stop just off the highway where we met up with a ...
