Road Trip 2015 Day 2

Needles, CA to Grants, NM
The day started off well.  The tires were replaced and we were on the road by 10am, heading through the desert towards Arizona.

However, about two hours down the road we had a phone call from Jeff the Tire Guy.  When he picked us up at the motel that morning, we put our luggage in the back of his pickup.  But when we off-loaded the luggage to our car, somehow Mr. B's briefcase got left behind. There was much discussion about what to do but, since it didn't contain anything especially valuable or necessary for the trip, we decided to alter our return trip plans and pick it up on the way home.  Please don't ask why he even took it along in the first place.
We didn't stop until we reached Williams AZ where we found a Safeway and took a comfort break.  What a difference when we stepped out of the car!  No more desert heat, just cool and fresh.

Our next stop was Winslow AZ.  Do you remember the Eagles song?

We stopped for lunch at a restaurant on the eastern edge of town.  The less said about that the better.

On to New Mexico where we crossed the Continental Divide, changed to Mountain time, and found a room at the Holiday Inn Express in Grants. We weren't very hungry after the meal in Winslow and there weren't any restaurants within walking distance, so we ate a snack bar and called it a night.
