Radiator Springs??


Today we traveled south out of Monument Valley to Williams, AZ.  Most of the scenery reminds me of the backgrounds drawn in the 'Fred Flintstone' cartoons.   Then we got to Williams, AZ, and boy does it remind us of Radiator Springs in the movie 'Cars'.  Even though yesterday brought the steepest incline we've ever climbed on a single hill with this much weight in tow,
today was also a climb from about 5,000 ft in elevation to 7,000 ft in elevation.  Just not as steep of an incline on any individual hill.  It's also getting warmer for us.  Today it's in the 80s and lows in the high 60s.  Tomorrow, we plan to travel to Needles, CA and those temps are around 110 degrees. Verizon 4G continues to amaze me. 

Mt. Humphreys - Highest point in Arizona
We're currently in a 3G Verizon network area.  The MiFi connection is comparable to a normal WiFi connection at any RV park - usable, but...

We have GPS here in Williams, AZ.  We have WiFi at the RV park, and we have 3G network coverage (4 bar signal strength).  Our smart phone is set to pick up all three signals to find our location and provide local weather and Latitude location services. So where do you think the smart phone thinks we're at?  Keene, TX.  I guess that's closer to Arizona than Richmond, VA. 

Enough complaining.  Time to go clean the bugs off the truck and the front of the trailer and work on my sun tan.  Later, David
