Adventure
to Wiener Dog Races in Buda,
Texas. then home - Day 9
& 10
Devils Bridge To London Bridge
We
Hiked in on the dry creek
for the 4 wheel drive
vehicles. So we
decided to hike out on the
Chuck Wagon Trail as
an Alternate Route
from Devil’s Bridge. It
was a lot longer than we
thought and mom was sure
we were lost.
 |
 |
 trail used by 4-wheal vehicles. |
Ezri kept wanting to see if there were critters off the trail and she ended up with a cactus quill in her face. It did not seem to faze her. Mom pulled it out and she went right back to trying to sniff the cactus.  |
 
Looking
up from underneath.

Photo Op -
did not have to climb this to get there. |
 |
ß We had to climb this. It was a little steep and mom gave me a lift once and awhile but it was fun!
It
is described
as extreme
vertical
steepness
hushed the
exhausted
tourists. The
final portion
of this actual
trail is
equivalent to
climbing about
50 flights of
stairs. In
fact, much of
the latter
part of the
trail was flat
red rocks very
similar to
that of a
winding
staircase.

Here we
are with
Mom on the Bridge.
Mom
had to hold
back silly
Ezri she
wanted to take
a look over the edge |
|
When
we finally made it back
to our car it was
on
to the Grand Canyon
The Weather took a
turn ......
We stayed for the night at a route 66 motel
We decided to drive route 66 on our way to London Bridge Hoping to catch a few sights along the way.........
the first stop was supposed to be The Caverns Inn .There was also going to be a cute town and mom wanted to checkout the hotel in a cave.
But all the things that were to be right along our route were elusive. This part of the trip Mom did not plan very well.
We ended up in Peach Spring at a rest stop and then pressed on.
We were suppose to see the sky bridge over the grand canyon but the map seemed to just lead us to nowhere. The Cell Service also was intermittent at best. So with no specific directions we were flying blind.
When we arrived at Dolan Springs we found a route to take us there.
Then Dad found out it was another 2 hours away and we would not be able to go out on the bridge together so we ditched that idea.
we pressed on to London Bridge.
I guess Mom will have to map it better next time.
This was the standard view on our route 66 drive.
We finally made it to London Bridge and boy was it hot. The canal was lined with boats with people juts hanging out. Kind of like the beach but with boats.
 On our drive up to the Grand Canyon Mom texted this picture to Christa. It is snowing! |
 Being San Diegans and all we had never experienced snow. A fact a little kid pointed out to us who commented on the clothing we were wearing. He was from Back East. |

No View

 So we decided to go for hot chocolate.
Saw this statue on
the way
|
 |
| after
the hot chocolate we decided to drive along the canyon rim. Mom decide to take one more look ....  |
The sun finally
brook through
|
 |
 |
 |
It was still cold!
|
 |
 |
 |
 Mom Got some good pictures! |
 |
 |
 the reason he is giving us this look is because Ezri is loudly barking at her. |
On the way out of
The Grand Canyon
we
spotted some Elk

We
left London Bridge and
headed off again towards
home.
Getting
tired, on a lone road
through empty farms, mom
spots a little store
Mac's
Bait and General
Store 80 Ben Hulse Hwy,
Palo Verde, CA 92266
So
we made a stop along our
road in the middle
of nowhere.
Mom
went in and bought an
energy drink and used
the restroom. When she
comes out she finds dad
handing
out pawdagraps and
telling stories of the
movie and our trip to
about 5 people.
I guess there are
dachshund fans
everywhere.
Well
we got back on the
road and came across
these giant sand dunes.
Here is an Aerial view.
I never knew this was out there.
Well other than that, that is the end of my story
.... So on to my next adventure.
