Day 5 - June 24. Travel day
One final stop at the bakery. \240The driver needs fuel too!
Good bye Maverick Camp Ground at Lajita Resort.
The 4 hour drive that would never end. Lori’s 4 hours of phone calls allowed Curt time to re plumb the ice maker line to go through the filtered water line (we had to stop in a town because cell service was not reliable). But that 4 hour stop made our drive beautiful.
This sunset was breathtaking!
Guadalupe mountains from the RV

Day 11 - July 1 - \240Drive from Tucson to Sedona
It was so hot that the landing pads for the rv leveler got stuck in the asphalt.
So this happened on the drive from Tucson to Sedona.....
Hum.....
Not a good thing....
Quick thinking on how to solve this problem.
Smoke is from the wildfire Rafael.
