Good evening from Flagstaff, Arizona!!! We're both shattered tonight after what was a 3rd hardcore day of driving in a row - Monday's 740 miles & yesterdays 560 miles were joined by another 550 miles today, taking us to 1850 miles in 72 hours!!!!!!!! Crazy hey...our total milage driven for the trip is now around 5100 miles too!! But anyway, we got up early and left Eagle, Colorado this morning and had a pretty ace drive down through the Rockies all the way West to Utah, well almost...Just before the Utah border, we had our second run-in with local law enforcement!!! Haha, this time it was my turn to be pulled over on the Highway, although unlike Michael I wasn't really speeding - I was doing 76 in a 75 and saw the car ages before it flashed for us to stop - the main reason for which was undoubtedly as we have New Jersey licence plates on our rental car, and thats a long way from Colorado!! Anyway, after having to "step out of the vehicle" and answering a lot of questions about the trip, to a Sheriff who ended up being a Federal Immigration Officer, we were back on the road!! We got into Utah and headed south down to Monument Valley, which as you can see from the photo above, was quite something!!!
We had an awesome time looking around there before heading to Flagstaff, Arizona to stay for the night. We were originally going to try go to the Grand Canyon this afternoon, but figured we might as well just do it in the morning, en route to VEGAS!!!!! Nevada will also be our 20th state of the trip after Colorado, Utah and Arizona!! So you might not be hearing from us again folks, who knows what we'll be getting up to this time tomorrow....
