Flagstaff/geo/trailer 6-03

monday 6/03
Headed to Bellmont (8mi west of flagstaff) to check out some trailers at Camping World. Would like to trade my RV in for a smaller trailer. Saw a Aspen trail trailer by Dutchman. Cool. From here 3mi down the road was a geocache at a cinder pit. Hiked to the top for a great view. Then lunch at Mac. Back to Camping World for some pic of the trailer. Drove to Fort Tuthill/flagstaff to check out a Adventure course call Flagextreme which deals with four courses doing zip line thru the trees. Plan to do this in couple of weeks. Takes about 2 1/2 hr. Some shopping in flag and back to the Rv Park. There was a new geocache at Chavez Pass (20 mi on meteor crater rd). One of the new guys (seasonal worker), Jeff, just got off work so he went with me. And we found the cache which was FTF (first to find). I think Jeff will become a geocacher. :)

BBQ for Cody 6/01

Saturday 6/01
Did 5 loads of laundry. Rugs, etc. Like spring cleaning in the trailer. Then got ready for the BBQ in Winslow at 2pm.
Cody just graduated from high school. He is the son of Nicole and Chris who work for Meteor Crater. Great kid. Very smart and out going. He got a full scholarship at Grand Canyon Uni in Phx. The family invited me to the BBQ. Known Cody since working here at meteor crater. I wish him a bright future.
