Did I mention that the speed limit in AZ is 75 mph with NO designation for trucks or trailers? Everybody blew by me like I was standing still. That's okay as I saw several people pulled over by the highway patrol. Ha!!
When I acquired the trailer I had to get extender mirrors for my truck that attach to my regular mirrors. Couldn't see around the trailer without them. Anyway, I was going along the highway and it suddenly turned very rough in places. I see something in the corner of my eye, and WOOSH, there goes the mirror. Needless to say, I didn't turn around to pick up the pieces. There were hundreds.
Then pulled over at a rest area in 'I have no idea where' ville and saw this. Speaking of broccoli.
Trailer brakes caught fire and 'cooked' the goods!
Finally, I stopped at the Petrified Forest National Park. Sooo cool to learn how petrified wood is created AND to see petroglyphs etched into the rocks. Very interesting place and well worth the stop.
If you look closely below, you can see some figures.

So there you have my day. Didn't get to Gallup until about 7:30 local time, which is now an hour later than California time. So it has been a huge day.
The pic I posted yesterday of the giant golf ball thing? Yeah, that was someones house! Guess you have to make it interesting in the desert!
Until next time.....
That road outside of Flagstaff is horrible! I know exactly the road you are talking about. People do fly by you too! We had to go slow the whole way and understand.
