Let’s see, how did I start out last year? “End of day 1. We haven’t killed each other yet. There’s still time.” This year is better. The drive from Phoenix to Flagstaff went smoothly. All systems are go, and we’re snuggly ensconced here at Black Bart’s Steakhouse and Campground.BBS&C is, shall we say “basic.” Not fancy at all. The good news is the nice lady at the office saved us a pull-through spot as we stressed when we called that a pull-through would save all of us embarrassment and time. The bad news is that the pull-through spots are all in the center of the campground away from the nice shady pine trees. Well, ya can’t have everything!
The interesting news is that there is some kind of music festival going on in Flagstaff and one of the attendees is camped here and serenading us on his bagpipe. That’s neat and will probably be neat for about another 30 minutes or so and then I may have to shoot him.
If you saw our blog last year you know that “Jill” our Garmin voice took us almost 800 miles out of our way by taking us to Tioga, Philadelphia rather than to Tioga, Pennsylvania, and although Philadelphia IS in Pennsylvania, there is a big difference between the two Tioga’s. I guess she enjoyed that little bit of Garmin humor because she tried to do it again today by telling us to exit at Mund’s Park about 15 miles south of Flagstaff then directing us back onto I-17 and telling us to drive 117 miles due south. This time we decided to ignore her and find Flagstaff on our own. Turned out it wasn’t that hard. During that little episode Cheryl said “Jill-Bitch is messing with us again!” And that’s what we decided to call her from now on.
We’ve never eaten at BB’s Steakhouse so we decided we’ll settle the dogs in and walk up there about 7PM. Cheryl says she’s been told that students from NAU Music Department wait tables and entertain, so we’re going to take a look.
Tomorrow, Durango!
