Yep, that’s exactly what we did. We stopped in Yuma for gas, a few supplies, and to eat at Don Quixote Mexican Restaurant. We are definitely glad to see gas prices lower than they were along the coast. We are back under $2.60/gallon.
We did see barriers and other similar structures along the border. We even saw a bucket with water in it which we had heard on the radio that some guy was arrested somewhere for leaving bottles of water in the rivers because the immigrants were dying from dehydration. It was definitely interesting.
We only had one border patrol check and they simply asked us if we were United States' citizens.
We took the scenic road through Sedona and it was beautiful. We were driving through when the sun was low and hitting the red rock just right. Loved it!
We saw cacti, bushes, and other greenery found here. It was a really cool drive after Yuma for the most part.
The temperatures got up to 94 degrees and when we got to our hotel in Flagstaff, it was 54 degrees.
We got to Flagstaff in the evening and made it to our hotel.
Tomorrow: Grand Canyon and staying in Albuquerque!!
Corn!
