Meteor Crater, Arizona
It froze overnight in Holbrook, but it didn’t get as cold as the weather forecast. We drove under sunny skies to Meteor Crater, which is about 30 km west of Winslow, and stopped there to visit the museum and view the crater. It is well done for a private museum, equivalent to most national historic sites. After viewing the museum and watching a film, we went for a guided walk of about 45 minutes part way around the crater rim. It was pretty cold, though not as windy as yesterday, so Enid and I once more wore our toques and gloves.
We spent about two hours there, then drove on to Flagstaff, where there was a lot of snow, close to a foot in the ditches. By now it was cloudy, but it did warm up as we dropped down into Phoenix, so by the time we got here it was about 16 C.
We checked in to the Desert Sands RV park, and were surprised to find it doesn’t have a laundry. We asked our neighbours where the closest Laundromat was, and since it was about as far as going to Mavis and Grant’s, we decided to visit them instead. We phoned and they were home, so we went over, did the wash, and had supper together. Both Enid and I were very tired tonight, so we went to bed early.
