Fort Apache Reservation
October 24, 2006
Kathy got up and read magazines until Will got up. Clouds filled the sky, dark clouds. We made some coffee and headed west. The rains were south of us; we got drizzles.. We were going down hill; we hit 87mph! That s the fastest we have ever gone in this vehicle. We were smokin’. That is way different than our regular 45mph; this is more like Kathy driving the MR2. We made it to ShowLow where we found wifi and spent the day uploading. Check the Photo Gallery for new groups of pictures.
Open Season was an animated movie with a great bear. Back on US60 and we moved south. We drove through the Apache Indian Reservation. First came the casino, then a few small towns with kids walking around and last was open land. We got down to 5000 feet in elevation before starting up hill again. Geronomo Pass was at 5337 feet. This is beautiful country: open, rich red soil, tall hills, a lone cinder cone, pine trees, tall grass, and yucca plants. We pulled off on a dirt road to enjoy the view and settled in for the night. Boggle is our game of choice lately. Darkness surrounded us. We heard little booms hit the van. We thought maybe hail, no bird droppings, but our game occupied us. Then another. Oh no! The eggs we were hard-boiling were exploding! What a mess. We watched West Wing episodes. Coyote sang us to sleep.
