Had a 5th-wheel hitch installed in Flagstaff. Now I’ll be ready to roll in October.
So now I’m reversing my journey. Back past Mt Humphreys.
Back through the Painted Desert.
Past Echo Cliffs.
Across the Colorado River on Navajo Bridge.
Past the Vermilion Cliffs.
Up onto the Kaibab Plateau.
Probably a stop at Jacob Lake for a milkshake.
Through the 2006 Warm Fire burn.
And the Kaibab National Forest.
To home where it might be raining.
Thursday Mike and I hauled a friends vintage 1955 Spartan trailer to Flagstaff.
Saw a little sundog over the Painted Desert.
Drove towards a major storm approaching Mt Humphreys.
Flagstaff has a very fun oldtown where I bought gear for my upcoming trip on the Colorado River.
Had dinner in the funky Galaxy Diner.
Where some nice old cars were parked in the lot.
On the return drive Saturday we again drove through a storm passing Mt Humphreys.
It rained so hard even the Little Colorado River was flowing at Cameron.
Then the clouds broke up over the Painted Desert.
And the sun shone on the Colorado River at Marble Canyon.
But the clear sky didn’t last as we approached the Kaibab Plateau where home is.

At least not for me. But Mike got his new to him Jeep licensed in Colorado City.
Dropping off the Kaibab Plateau with views of the Grand Staircase Escalante.
Evidence of somebody’s dream.
At breakfast this sign says it all.
It was about 94 degrees in Saint George, Utah. And I’ll have to go back in a couple weeks to get a 5th-wheel hitch mounted in the truck.
Although we watched the stormy sky all the way home we barely got a few rain drops.
Someone asked about the first image of standing dead trees in my SWF post. In 2006 lightning struck near Jacob Lake starting the Warm Fire which ultimately burned almost 60,000 acres. Now I see aspens taller than I am.
