Mesa was sunny and warm ~ Williams not so much . . .
It was hard to leave beautiful Mesa after watching the Super Bowl there and enjoying the pool. We heading out to the Grand Canyon and a nearly empty RV park in Williams, AZ. It looks like a cute town when everything is not closed for the winter :(
We enjoyed the Grand Canyon for the entire day with Snick.

| On the road away from Phoenix and the 70 degree temps |
 |
| They really take pride in their highway system |
 |
| Maybe next time |
 |
| Wide Open Spaces ~ with mountains as far as you can see |
 |
| With views like this we enjoy the travel days as much as we do the destination |
 |
| We knew we were getting close when we started seeing snow on the mountain tops |
 |
| Apparently Elk only have two legs in the canyon area |
 |
| Just passin thru |
 |
| "dog tired" and adorable !! |
 |
| Beautiful back-drop at this campsite |
 |
| The little town we stayed at while touring the Grand Canyon |
 |
| Williams was the last town on Route 66 before it was rerouted |
 |
| That would've been a fun RV park to stay at; but it was closed for the "winter" season |
YABBA DABBA - DOO

 |
| Looks like a volcano |
 |
| Remember this bird . . . he will show up again |
 |

 |
| Dan with Snickers |
 |
| We started out with a few hundred photos and tried to pare it down.. |
 |
| but as you'll see, we had a hard time. |
 |
| Pam and Snickers |
 |
| The pictures do not really do justice to the views - ENJOY! |
 |
| If Pam looks cold, its because she is, it was windy and about 35 degrees |

 |
| After all the signs we finally saw our first Mule Deer (cross right in front of our car) |
 |
| and then had an attitude |
 |

 |
| We did see some snow too |
 |
| This bird would not leave us |

| Perfect picture for background on our phones :-) |
 |
| He doesn't want to miss anything, but too tired to sit up and look out the window |
 |
| Even the mules were dog tired . . . except they were on vacation until March 1st |
 |
