Was sad to say goodbye to Williams this morning. Can't recommend enough for people to stay at this town in the future.
On the way out we stopped at Bearizona. It's a drive through wildlife adventure! If it has adventure in the advertising then we are in. Especially driving through in a rental car! Nothing happened Hertz honestly!
You drive around for a couple of miles seeing a variety of animals. Rocky mountain goats, American burros, American bison and white bison, wolves etc. But the most exciting was the black bears! Cool I tell ya, especially when they are walking right beside the car!
You then park up and walk around another enclosure with a few more animals. They have bear kindergarten which was neat. Nice little cubs rolling around like JayDee!
Carried on to Flagstaff. Caught the car show! What a great setup and a huge amount of mint cars on display. Geoff - I've included a picture below just for you! Still no 63 galaxies. Think they been all exported to NZ!
Next stop was a Meteor Crater just east of Flagstaff. 50,000 years ago a meteor hurtling at about 26,000 miles per hour crashed landed. The crater is 700 feet deep and over 4000 feet across. Got to touch a original piece of it! Pretty impressive.
Hit the road again and turned off for a brief look at Winslow. Ok, for those that are familiar with The Eagles - start singing now. "Standing on the corner of Winslow Arizona". Yep we stood on that corner. Not a lot else there but a good stop. Plus pretty good root beer.
Made our way to our overnight stop which is Holbrook. If you know Route 66 and saw Billy Connelly you may have seen the 'famous' Wigwam Motel. Visited and took pictures but after looking around and seeing how close to the train lines it is we opted for something on the other side of town.
Just eaten at Denny's and now ready to blob out!
Another adventurous day.
