Weather: low 75 degrees, high 95 degrees, clear skies until the afternoon, then mostly cloudy
This picture is of two of the flowers I found in the park. According to the book we bought yesterday, the red one is a garden phlox and the blue one is still an unknown one. Anyone care to make a guess? It looks like a break is on the way in the hot weather the area has been experiencing. Showers have been popping up all over the area this afternoon, even though we have not gotten any. The temperatures for the next few days are forecast to be more moderate. Since we‘re leaving here tomorrow headed to the north, maybe it’ll be easier to find the cool weather we’re looking for.
We were busy this afternoon getting everything ready to travel. Laundry was washed, the truck was cleaned up (could it be we’re bringing on the showers by cleaning the truck?), the tires were checked on the truck and RV, the batteries were checked for water levels, the oil was checked on the truck………
Later in the day, I took the books and DVDs we were using back to the library. On the way home, I filled up with diesel. About the only thing left to do is dump our holding tanks on the way out of the campground.
Terri and Thomas came over tonight to tell us good-bye. We expect to come back through here in about four weeks on our way to Texas.
Cooler weather, here we come!!
More later, be safe.

Grants New Mexico is where Vivi and I stayed the 1st night on our way to the grand canyon on Friday June 26th. The west was much cooler than Texas has been. Have a good visit in the mountains.

What did you think about the lava beds around Grants? And then the mountain is such a contrast. It snowed on us when we went up there.

Lava beds were cool as the petrified forest. We liked the north rim of the grand canyon best and next best was Bryce's Canyon. We also saw Zion Nat. Park, but it was around 100 degrees when we were there. Much cooloer at the 8000 plus elevations of the north rim and Bryce's. Had a good time and drove about 3300 miles in a week.
