2023 Trip #2 – Grand Canyon to Tucumcari

Wanderlust Road

From Lake Havasu State Park we drove to Grand Canyon’s Trailer Court RV Campground in a day. Interstate 40 from Kingman, AZ to Williams, AZ was HORRIBLE! Avoid at all costs. On our return trip, we’re going to travel on old Route 66 instead.

Shortly after arriving in Trailer Court RV Campground, we set off for a short (1.5 mile) walk to the Grand Canyon – just as we did when we camped here before in 2019.

Starlink

It’s everywhere . . .

Starlink antennas are popping up on more and more RVs

El Tovar

We stayed in the El Tovar Hotel in 1974. It was incredible. We rented an upper floor patio that faced the Grand Canyon.

Homolovi Ruins State Park

Our first stop after leaving the Grand Canyon . . .

Plenty of open space plus the occasional snake and/or scorpion.

Tecumcari

While traveling to our next campground in New Mexico, we received a text message from the RV park saying they had to cancel our 2-day reservation because the campground was badly damaged in a fall flood the night before.

We dodged a bullet by arriving a day AFTER this storm

Storms keep rolling through the area . . .

. . . and the night skies are spectacular
