Monday....................

We left Albuquerque about 7AM. The red lights got us split up into two groups. Three other deuces and me in the first group. The other four cars behind us. Just a few miles from town the 34 in the back group fried a distributor. We had no idea that it happened so just kept driving. We made it to Winslow, Arizone in time for an early lunch, so early that the cafe was not open yet. The gift shop called the cafe and they opened up the doors early just for us....we're so special!! Great food. We killed about two hours at lunch, taking pictures, looking at the neat little town all the time the Eagles were playing on the loudspeakers.  The second half were fixed but still about 2 hours behind us. We decided to go onto Williams, AZ our stop over place. We arrived there at 2, checked into the hotel, Rodney and I elected to go onto the Grand Canyon, the others did not want to go.It was only 50 miles away, so an hour up, spent 45 minutes at the canyon and an hour back, we were back at the hotel by 5. The others had arrived a few minutes before we got back. We all went to a steak house for dinner, good food, good times.
Tomorrow is a real short day, about 160 miles but we will be doing several stops and photo ops.
