After driving through the aforementioned small towns in Arizona, we made a stop in Sedona to get groceries. Extremely touristy. Camped near Sedona that night, then drove on to Flagstaff, where there's a small observatory at Northern Arizona University. This is a good time to give a summary of food eaten up to this point on the trip, since it also gives a travelogue of places:
Monday,
first road meal—pancakes at truck stop
near Johnson City. Second “meal” was peanut butter & crackers and other
stuff we’d brought with us at a windy-as-hell rest stop near Fort
Stockton. Next meal was at Crossroads
Café in Hurley, NM.
Tuesday—breakfast
of bacon & eggs at our Lower Scorpion Campsite. Lunch was apparently a
snack, don’t recall what. Dinner was at the Cottonwoods campground, our own
camp-made spaghetti. Plus maybe a salad, beer to drink for me, don’t know what
JKW was drinkin’.
Wednesday—PBJ
at campsite before leaving, then pancakes, etc, at Bear Wallow Café, Alpine,
AZ. Road food later—snacks, and
fighting, around Payson. Dinner was
hamburgers and fries cooked at our Cave Springs campsite near Sedona.
