Left early to drive to Williams about 30mi west of Flagstaff. Parked at the train depot where one can catch the famous ride to the Grand canyon. Walked a short distance to the historical part of Williams which has so much history. Founded by Bill Williams in 1881. I walked around doing my geocaching, found 6 of them, and learning the history of the of the town. Had lunch at Pancho's near the railroad tracks. More walking and a visit to the Visitor Center. Weather was perfect, sun and no wind. Got back onto the I-40 and headed east to exit 167 to check out an area for hiking next time. Lots of geocaches in an area call Dogtown lake. Nice drive thur the forest but the distance was going to be 8mi on a dirt road so I only did a couple miles. Will do this next time. Back at the RV park about 4:30. Then to the crater to play mexican train with Summer & Toni.
Heading to the old part of Williams. Stopped for a geocache on pole.
