#1 on Bucket List...Lake Powell

[AZDANSX230HO]

You are getting closer to Lake Powell, very excited for your trip, that lake is one of the most beautiful places on earth - fortunately for me it's only 4 hours from my house. Keep us updated with pics along the way and at the lake!!!

Will do! Just passing Clines Corners New Mexico, 50 miles from Albuquerque. Stopping there from Mexican food a good nights sleep and margaritas!

@txav8r I had a tread separation on one Maxxis tire coming back home from my mom's house several years ago. They were near the end of their 5 year life cycle so I was on borrowed time. Last year I had the blowouts with the Kumho's that were barely a year old and hardly had any use due to the flooding last year. They were a heavy duty tire with a high speed rating was the reason I had them.

Enjoy y'alls trip! Keep the pics coming.

I don't know if I have ever seen Clara smile so big!! It is awesome to see that smile on her face!! You guys have a blast!

Thanks guys. Yeah, Dan, I love New Mexico. We got out early this morning and have already passed grants 225 miles from Flagstaff. We're thinking about bypassing that long two lane state highway road we broke down on last year. Means adding 50 miles to the journey thru flagstaff, but we stay on the interstate most of the way. And hey, we can always make a stop at petrified Forest national Park, and meteor crater, along the way! We're just anxious to get to Powell.

We did that tour a while back.. forest, crater, Flagstaff, Grand Canyon, four corners, Durango, Pagosa Springs and back to Santa Fe for some mexican food on the square.

Have fun!

 

[txav8r]

Yeah Dan, we've done New Mexico probably five times, we love it. And done pretty much that same tour you did.

It's a scenic drive going up Highway 89 through Flagstaff to Page, you will be driving through the Navajo Reservation once you get outside of Flagstaff. Enjoy Powell, it's an amazing place.

We just left petrified Forest national Park. Really gorgeous overlook of the painted Desert.

Are the a\c's keeping up with the heat very well? Are you running the generator to run the coach a\c's while traveling?

 

[txav8r]

We did from Dallas to Albuquerque, generator running, both ACs on, 72° in the coach! Today since Albuquerque and I'm less than 100 miles to Powell, no generator just dash air and it's quite comfortable.

 

[txav8r]

Dan, you're right, 89 is a spectacular Drive!

Glad you made it safely, it's beautiful country up there, cannot wait until you get to explore the lake, that's the best part of it. The weather forecast looks great for the next 10 days so you should not have to mess with the Monsoons like we did a couple of weeks ago. Have fun!!!
