Williams, Arizona

Howdy all. We have had two days of pretty windy driving to get from Santa Rosa, NM to Williams, Arizona. Today we drove from Gallup, NM to Williams and we started in the smoke from the fires in Arizona and ended with winds at 23 MPH with gusts to 46. We were passing one of those big wind mill blades when we got hit by a huge gust of wind. Fortunately the blade got buffeted at the same time as we were pushed a bit into his lane. We did get past him with no contact between us and continued on our way, although a bit shaken.

After four days of travel we are ready to rest for an extra day here tomorrow and get on our way to Barstow, CA on Wednesday. Tomorrow I will play golf at a course named Elephant Rocks which is supposed to be a fun course to play. Mike and Patty have played there before and they both recommend it. Hopefully the wind will die down a bit so I can enjoy the experience. More from California. Be safe.
