My old stomping ground, Flagstaff, was the first night's stop as my dog Cinda and I journey once again across country to our family summer home in Upper Peninsula, Michigan. Dave and I graduated fifty years ago this year from Arizona State College, in the first class of its new name, Northern Arizona University. I always enjoy camping at Black Bart's in Flagstaff, known for its steak house with musical revues featuring the students from NAU who are aspiring entertainers, doubling as wait staff.
Sunday gets me to my second stop, Page, AZ to pick up my sister Ada, who will be riding with me, along with her dog, back to Hatch Haven. But wait....before we can hit the road, Ada has a few social events planned....ten friends for dinner to welcome me back and wish us safe travel; a 7:30 Monday morning flight over Lake Powell to see Rainbow Bridge; followed by a Sunday Brunch with friends; THEN getting Ada packed and ready to go.

The flight over the dam and Lake Powell was a gift from a local successful merchant, in gratitude for Ada being his First and Third grade teacher, and now his son's teacher. What a marvelous experience!
We plan to leave at first light for a long drive tomorrow, about 450 miles. Dogs and ladies are looking forward to this journey East and North. Love, Liz
