Day Five (770 miles)

Today we drove, and drove, and drove.

Best line of the day:

Tim, “Ashley look out the window do you see the mountains?”

Ashley, “Do you mean those shadows?”

We left TX at 9:30 A.M. and we stopped just outside of Flagstaff at 10:20 P.M. (central time). Flagstaff is in the mountains and we had just descended to a lower elevation, so I thought the rest of the trip would be easy. Wrong again, we had to go back up into the mountains and down again to get to Phoenix. After driving 13 hours the last thing you want to do is drive through the mountains in the dark. We made it to Sun City at midnight (10:00 P.M. mountain time).
