Yes we hired a chair for Chorlton to be wheeled around to rest her arms a while (lookout little ole lady).
The Canyon looks Grand from here.
After Rachel Nevada, Winslow is my all time favourite location (with Hong Kong a close 3rd). There is nothing here save the “Standing on a Corner” statue and a gift shop, but there is something about it that I love. I would have loved to have seen this place in its prime.
Just seen the news of more tornadoes in Oklahoma. My heart goes out to those affected. We travelled on the I-40 during a storm and there is no shelter. We journeyed past Oklahoma City and through El Reno.
To be caught in a car when such a thing hits would be deadly.
This is an Elk
And this is Elk medallions served in a rich jus sauce. Very rich. I preferred it walking around on four legs thanks.
Piki Bread anyone made from blue corn, or what is commonly known as blue crepe paper with humous!
Next is quail, wildboar, venison and elk on a yellow corn husk
it all looks pretty, but is way over the top pretentious, lets face it, this is like having the Ritz and Heston Bloomin Baldy in the centre of Bradford, it just don’t fit
Weate Elk and Bison from here.
After a monumental 260 mile drive from Moriarty New Mexico to Winslow Arizona across yet another time zone (8 hrs behind the UK), me and the disembodied foot have finally arrived to the tiny town of Winslow Arizona (which is very run down) and the rather elegant La posada Hotel.
Tonight we will be residing in the Dianne Keaton Room which is very very nice and a tad opulent for the area.
So this is the top of Sandia Peak in New Mexico. 10,000 feet above sea level we are currently in their restaurant enjoying lunch.
The peak itself is reached by what used to be the worlds longest tramway with still the longest single wire spam at 1.7 miles long.
The views of the valley are fantastic, we picked a clear (but windy) day to visit.
We are in high desert country where bears, mountain lions and other large creatures roam freely. Not seen anything as yet.
Mr Fogg says he’s not worried about either big animal, since there is no way I could outrun him!
It’s a long drive from here to Stand on the Corner, and I’m sure some other sights on the way as we go west.
At least we seem to have left the storms behind. It’s hot sun all the way now. 95 today.
