Sonntag, 4. April 2010: Flagstaff – Grand Canyon Über Sunset Crater Vulcano und Wupatki National Monument zum Osteingang des Grand Canyon National Park. Kurz davor ein Indianermarkt am Little Colorado River, dann der Desert View Watchtower: zwar in Renovierung begriffen, aber sofort wieder erkannt, genau wie den Schnellimbiss mit der Schlange vor der Kasse. Auch die Toiletten sind noch da, wo sie vor 22 Jahren waren! Weiter am South Rim entlang zum Mather Campground und noch bei Tageslicht gekocht und … Read More

Samstag, 3. April 2010: Needles – Flagstaff Wunderschöne Fahrt hügelan, hügelab, mit vielen Kurven auf der historischen Route 66 von Needles über Oatman, wo ein “Easter Shoot-Out“ mit Western-Markt stattfand, nach Kingman. Ab da auf der I40 nach Flagstaff „geritten“, weil der Wind extrem böig war. Vor Flagstaff umdisponiert: Tagesziel nicht mehr Grand Canyon, sondern KOA Flagstaff! Eingecheckt und dann in aller Ruhe zum Walnut Canyon – leider zu ruhig: der Weg zu den Höhlenwohnungen war schon geschlossen, aber wir … Read More

Friday, April 2, 2010: Joshua Tree – Mojave National Preserve – Needles Mojave National Preserve: “real” desert with Joshua Trees (not found in Joshua Tree NP) and unpaved roads (Heide loves them!). Wanted to take a tour through Mitchell Caverns in Providence Mountains: tour was to start at 3:00 p.m.; when we arrived at 2:40, it was fully booked (“Next tour tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.”). Drove to Needles, checked mails and found message from Andrea and Kirk.

Thursday, April 1, 2010: Chula Vista – Cuyamaco Rancho SP – Anza Borrego Desert SP – Joshua Tree NP – Joshua Tree Lake Changed planned route to visit Cuyamaco Rancho State Park as well; very nice! Anza Borrego Desert SP with lots of red blooms like flamingos. Joshua Tree NP: wonderful view over to Palm Springs and Salton Lake from Keys View. Finished the day at Joshua Tree Lake Campground.

Wednesday, March 31, 2010: San Diego, San Ysidro Took bus and trolley to downtown San Diego, walked Gaslamp Quarter and Horton Plaza, and took the trolley to San Ysidro. Went over the bridge to Mexico, but didn’t leave the U.S. but returned to our campground. On the way back (walking) bought some stuff at Grocery Outlet and carried 7 plastic bags more than 3 miles back to the campground (very imprecise map showing store much closer than in reality!)

Unsere Eltern haben das Wohnmobil bezwungen und heute (Di) den Freeway von L.A. nach San Diego unsicher gemacht … Woohoo! Viel Spaß beim Sightseing morgen!

Tuesday, March 30, 2010: Los Angles – San Diego Had arranged for early pickup by Cruise America and got to the station at 10:00 – being the first customers. Got a 2009 model RV, self-served our convenience packs including extra dishes, plaids, and chemicals. Invaded WalMart, stowed all stuff, and headed south to Chula Vista. TomTom was quite helpful, but finally stopped us 1 mile away from KOA San Diego. Asking a guy on the street finally got us to … Read More
