Never, never again. When pulling a trailer in Flagstaff, we encountered all kinds of problems. There’s a town ordinance against over night parking. If you’re a semi, they have “auto parks” but RVers are just NOT welcome.

We had planned to stay in Winslow, Arizona, and we would have been much better off, but it was early and we figured we were good to go, so we continued on. Next city is Flagstaff. We wasted an hour or so trying to find someplace to just stop, fix a meal, and stay until morning.

Finally we gave up and drove on up the road to a rest area on Hwy 40. Would have been ok, except that a semi parked immediately next to us, ran his engine all night. It was really loud. John said, not as bad as the Flying J the night before, but I felt it was much worse.

While in Flagstaff, we encountered an extreme dip in the temperature (45-50) coupled with winds of 35-40 mph. It was bitter cold. Right now it’s 43 degrees, but at least the wind has died down. It’s currently 8:35 a.m. We may have a problem when we get to our campground (Xanterra). I just re-read our reservation request and it says we can’t check in until 4:00.

We should be at the Grand Canyon National Park in a few minutes. I’ll write more later.
