Today we begin the journey home! We headed out of Flagstaff today, driving along a short section of Route 66.
We attempted to go to Slide Rock State Park in Oak Creek Canyon, which Susan remembered from a trip out here in 1975. True to its name, it’s a place where you can slide down rocks in the creek. But unfortunately, when we got there, there were signs saying the bacteria levels were too high and nobody was allowed in the water, so we simply turned around and headed back to the highway. We are now headed east on I-40, with Albuquerque as the next milestone.

I really like Flagstaff. We went to the observatory the last time we were there – it’s where Pluto was discovered!

Susan’s family had tons of suggestions for things to do, the observatory being one of the major ones. But as with the rest of this trip, we had little time to spare, unfortunately.
