Roy
spent a day back in Phoenix getting the Dodge part sorted.
Left early but had to sit an hour at Superior as they were blasting, spent a fun half hour looking for the last Saguaro cactus and trying to snap it as we drove along! Thanks TelSal!

| RED ROCK PARK SUNSET |
We
made our way north along the 60/77 through Salt River Canyon, very
pretty, the Mogollon Rim and from Snowflake with the high desert,
flat lands and then to the I-40 east to Gallup. Patches of snow and
when we arrived at Red Rock Park in Gallup we heard on the news that
they had 4 inches of snow last night – we timed that right!

So cold last night it was minus 8oC outside and 0oC inside! We soon warmed up with heater.
We left Gallup and drove to Farmington, the plan was to camp there but we were really early so after a quick Walmart shop for jeans, we drove over pretty roads into Colorado and camped at Pagosa Springs, 5-20pm just before it got dark! Heater on, not allowed water as it will freeze tonight but we have our own, but we are cosy and warm with TV and internet!
Getting close to South Fork now!

Well at least you were able to remember saying goodbye to the last saguaro and reflect on what that meant and the experiences that had been yours in the area they live. Beautiful photos Anne,
