Day 2, morning. Trip mile 211.

Brrrrrrrrr. At 5 AM it was 42 degrees at out Fort Tuthill campground. We were exhausted last night, hit the sack about 7:30, hence the early wake up. The campground has lots of pine trees,is next door to the fairgrounds, used to be a large national guard training center estalished in 1929.

Drove thru Seligman and Williams, both steeped in Route 66 lore, pix of James Dean and Marilyn Monroe, vintage gas pumps, 50s cars and so on. Was tempted to stop at the famous Roadkill Cafe in Seligman but didn't.

Last night's entree was to be spaghetti, a frozen leftover, turned out to be pumpkin, gave some to Ranger, tossed the rest, had sauteed shrimp instead. We were too tired to build a campfire - and that's pretty darn tired. I prefer to cook over the campfire and will do so tonight, chicken breasts.

Slept well our first night on our rebuilt bed. Original mattress was too hard so added 3" memory foam pad - great but too high, ceiling head banger, stepladder required for entry/exit. So, sold original mattress and got 2 pieces of top quality 1/2" carpet pad to put under the memory foam, works great, toss the stepladder.

Wifi really slow here so no pix this time.
