Gettin Our Kicks....Route 66

Williams, Arizona is where we landed today, around noon.  The 7000 foot elevation was felt by all of us and our campground hosts gave us instructions to immediately sit and drink 2 tall glasses of ICE water so that we would not get sick.  Its hard to just sit when you first arrive somewhere because there are so many things to do to set up...but we all drank the water and I think we are all fine.  Since we have been here our cartridge ink pens all exploded and all the air tight bags (potato chips etc) have puffed up.  This elevation is interesting !

Okay, so back to being in Williams....first, the terrain totally changed from desert and cactus to green hills and pine trees.  The temperature is in the 70's too and we learned that just a week ago, they had 4 inches of snow on the ground here.  Hard to fathom !  Williams is a historic town on Route 66, its an old western looking town and I think this holiday weekend it will be packed! We took a quick trip into town this afternoon and got some pictures.  Here is Williams, Arizona !








Tomorrow we head to the Grand Canyon and I am so excited! xxoo TML
