happy travels again....



got our rental truck, brand new YiKEs!!! (now we need to watch out for spills
and dings)  but we're back on the road again....spent our first night camping in Flagstaff Azornia much cooler, my toes were even cold last night!
our truck needs transmission seals fixed, if we had kept going would have broke the whole thing, better it happened like it did....
all in Buckeye were friendly and helpful despite the horrendous heat!
safe and uneventful travels today Hopefully!!!
