What goes perfect with Dinosaurs?

Ok, I'll get to the dinosaurs in a few, but first:

We are finally in a part of Arizona that was warm today....75...tomorrow supposed to be 80.

We had a pretty uneventful trip the last two days.  Our campground last night was ok, but not great...NOW our campground tonight is  a 6 on a scale of 1 to 5!  It's called Zane Grey RV Park and is just outside Camp Verde AZ.  We went through a slight mountain pass late today...saw lots of pine trees in Flagstaff....that was a real nice looking town.

We will be staying at Zane Grey until Wednesday morning.  Then we will be moving on to the RV Park we will be at until the end of April.

I wanted to post some pictures of bridges I took in Albuquerque yesterday.  I know sounds boring, but I noticed last year that all of their bridges are decorated in a southwest motif....some are iron work and some are adobe looking.  Here are a few pictures:



And here is one of the highway wall that are all decorated too






And one last one....An art deco bridge tower:


Ok, here is our campsite in Gallup NM last night:
And here is tonights...



MUCH nicer.  And the rest of the park is very nice too...lots of trees and a nice trail to walk the dogs on.

Ok, we stopped at this weird dinosaur place today out in the middle of nowhere, because I had to pee and there wasn't a gas station or rest area for awhile and, well, I REALLY had to go.  Here's some shots for you.








I couldn't just go in an pee and not buy anything....bought a hemitite ring and a clump of desert roses....sorry, no picture...:)

The owners, the Stewarts, were very nice people, so I really had to buy something.  Oh, and while I was in the bathroom, (the store was in a converted mobile home) there was something sticking out of the shower, so I looked....would have pissed my pants if I wasn't already on the toilet!  A mannequin laying like she had been killed.  Gave me a jolt and a good laugh.

And what goes with weird dinosaur shit?  How about ..........



Ostrich's!!

Ok, a couple more pictures of the scenery coming down the pass from Flaggstaff








And here's just one more for Sean...saw a bunch of the Nascar semi's going East, but only caught one on the camera.


Ok, I went kind of long tonight, but I guess that's all right once in a while.

  1. That looks like some really nice scenery. Nascar is going from Fontana to Martinsville. Truck looks cool. That is kinda ironic with the Semi's. I saw a John Force bus on my way home from work and couldn't help but think of you guys when I saw it...lol
