Flagstaff adventure 12/4

sunday  12/4
Decided to head out to Flagstaff for a movie at 10:30am.  Movie was Breaking Dawn#1, good one if you are watching the Twilight saga series.  After the movie some lunch.  Then a drive up to Lowel Observatory for the view of flagstaff.   From here a drive to the airport ( just a few miles) to get a geocache in the snow.  Right of the road. Just 200ft but walking in 12-14" of snow.  Then had to dig the container out. It was by a tree stump which was easy to locate it.  From here a drive to the flagsaff Mall.  Did some shopping.  Back at the RV around 4pm  to see the last half of the football game Cowboys / Cardinals.  Yeaa the cardinals won,

Need to trun left for the movies

More snow in the morning.  Time to get out.  :)  Headed to winslow (20 mi east).  Some new geocaches were placed last week.   First stop at a old Trading post by the train area.  From there
to the La Pasada hotel for lunch. A little on the high end but very good. Then 3 more caches. A quick stop at the Dollar store. Back to the RV.

My day off and wake up to snow.    Pretty but........    
Had a Doctor's appt (dermatology) in Flagstaff at 11:15am.  The drive there wasn't bad, like a winter wonder land.  From there off to get a new Jeep battery. Some shopping at Wal-Mart and back home.
Long day.  Yes it snow on/off all day.  Fun adventure, I think.
