Walnut Canyon NM & Travel to Holbrook, AZ

6 June 2024 – Trip Day 67

 

Why yes Mommy, I am awake at 3 am! Glad to see you are as well!

Today was a travel day. Here we are all packed up and ready to head out of Munds Park.

 Driving North, you got a good view of the smoke from a wildfire. While I (Alan) drove on to our next destination, Holbrook, AZ and the Petrified Forest, Meagan took Jarek, Arya, and Randal on a detour to Walnut Canyon National Monument. 

 

 

 

 

 Meanwhile, back at our (new) campsite, I was having fun getting situated. The space was tight with the length of the trailer, as I worked to maneuver it better into its spot. I removed the bikes for extra clearance with maneuvering. The site was angled and I didn’t have a great approach angle to be aligned when I pulled through. The rig in front of me was kind of far back, which also complicated things. This was complicated by the 5′ poles they put in the site, which made things a bit more interesting.

A view from the other side. The rig is pointed too far to the right, and with the bikes I’m too long to properly maneuver.

After removing the bikes, I was able to get the rig aligned much better. All of the utilities are on the driver’s side, and we generally don’t use that space for any activities. Excess space on the driver’s side is generally wasted, where space on the passenger side is what we use for our living/front porch area.

 A couple hours after getting set up, the rig is cooling down. Of course, it’s plenty warm outside.

One of the dangers of an unattended phone: the photo bomber!
