Rubbertramps: From the Desert to Snow to Desert Again!

Hi everyone - Well we've moved... We finished up our volunteering in Kingman at the animal shelter and we had fun walking and playing with the dogs. Three of them got adopted while we were there, one was called Bucky (he was our favorite) and we got to take an old one out for his last jaunt outside before he was put to sleep. Poor Ricky, he was so cute. We were excited about leaving Kingman though and decided to leave that night. We were truckin down the highway 10 miles out of town, listenin to tunes by Blind Melon and feeling great when one of our back tires blew!! We had just passed a truck stop so we turned around and slept there for the night. Our Good Sam emergency roadside service sent a guy to fix it within 90 minutes. Oh well, everything happens for a reason, all is good and everything is fine now.

Here we are leaving Kingman

Here we are coming into Williams

Williams Rv park was great for two nights. We had hookups, showers, and laundry. The guy who worked there even showed us a Bald Eagle perched in a favorite hangout. (he was too far away to get a pic of though) Williams is a cool little town and it even had an indoor skatepark for Aaron. (Oh, he ended up liking the Kingman skatepark) We left Williams for Flagstaff and there was even more snow.

Flagstaff was cool. The historic downtown was even cooler. We had the most awesome dinner ever at a restaurant called Mountain Oasis. I definitely recommend it if you're ever there. It's on Aspen Street. There was this guy playing the acoustic guitar for background music and the last song he played was Sublimes, "Waiting For My Ruca"! We loved the version of it and he seemed pleased that we knew the song. We looked around the shops and then headed to Camp Verde to visit Montezuma's Castle, the ruins of a cliff dwelling tribe. I got dizzy at the site which usually happens in power spots. This place is not known for power spots though but maybe it's just not documented as it is in Sedona. Power was definitely coursing through the air.

We then made our way over to Sedona and found a skatepark there too. Aaron loved it. I think he should make his own blog about all the skateparks he visits. We went on a hike at the base of Cathedral Rock. There is supposed to be a vortex on Cathedral Rock and they say you can feel it the most where the Oak Creek (more like river) is closest to the base of the mountain. I didn't feel the usual tingles or lightheadedness but it sure was pretty and we had a great time. When we left there though we had an unusual feeling of peace and we were extremely relaxed. There was definitely power there!! They say it supposed to enhance the feminine energy so this is probably why the energy was more subtle, it must be the masculine energy that makes me dizzy. Here's some cool pics.

We are now in Camp Verde at an RV park resting, doing laundry and taking showers. We are catching up with internet stuff and we printed out our vouchers for Disneyland. We are going to Slab City next and we'll probably be there for a couple weeks. I really wish we could live this way for the rest of our lives. I like the Gypsy Life. It doesn't get any better than this!!
