Meteors and Lava

We left Quartzsite and headed to Kingman, AZ up on I-40.  We took our usual route up US 93.  We broke down about 90 miles south of Kingman at 10am.  Its a desolate stretch of highway and cell coverage is very poor.   Trying to call road service took hours of calling and losing signal.  The road service took forever to find us tow service.  The tow service finally arrived at 10pm with two trucks.  One to tow the truck and one to tow the RV.  They replaced a hose clamp and that fixed our problem and then they followed us all the way to our campground to make sure we made it.  We arrived at the campground at 1am.  Not the best way to start our trip.

Our next stop was Meteor Crater by Winslow, AZ.  It is just a hole in the ground but it is pretty amazing when you realize how deep it is.  There are big pieces of equipment on the floor of the crater but you can't see them unless you look through one of the telescopes they have set up.  I took the picture along the rim looking down at the next viewing platform which has people on it while showing the bottom of the crater as well.  We then stopped at Grants, NM and the KOA we stayed at had a walking path through the lave flows.  It was also a very interesting stop and a nice campground.

We have now made it to our destination of La Veta, Colorado.  This will be our home for the summer.
