My week at Lake Powell was up today. I packed up and hit the road for Holbrook Arizona at 10am. After four plus hours of travel with a little bit of everything along the way I arrived in Holbrook. I had steep down hills and long uphills to navigate along with rain squalls with strong crosswinds to contend with. I even had a hard, not quite panic, stop that made a mess of some of the loose stuff in the motorhome.

Site 83 at the Holbrook / Petrified Forest KOA.

Holbrook is east of Flagstaff on Interstate 40 near the Petrified Forest National Park. I was surprised at how open the land is east of Flagstaff. It is all open range land. There is some higher ground in the distance, but most of the time all that you can see is low bushes, gravel and grass. You know you have to worry when you see wind socks along the highway along with the high wind and dust warnings.

After I got setup and picked up the mess inside from the eventful travel day. I tested the speed of the Internet access. I have been suffering with poor internet connections for the last two weeks or so. The connection here seems to be very good. I’m going to include some of the pictures of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon that I couldn’t include last night in this blog. With a little bit of luck, I may be able to create some of the Google Photos Albums of my August and September tours.

I’m only here until Sunday, so I need to get a quick start at touring in the area. It isn’t tomorrow yet, but as of right now, I think I’ll head to the Petrified Forest National Park tomorrow.
