We walked over to the rim this morning for one last view of the Grand Canyon before checking out and moving on west. Our destination tonight was Kingman, AZ, so our route was pretty simple: south on Hwy 64, west on I-40. Along the way we saw lots of warning signs with icons of deer and elk to watch out for. One sign suggested we should "watch to animals next 10 miles." We watched closely, but we didn't see any. The other day when we were driving to Desert View, we saw a new sign for us: instead of the usual silhouette of a deer or elk, this sign had a silhouette of a mountain lion. Yikes. I guess the sign was put up in hopes of protecting the mountain lion from unwary drivers.
We are spending the night at the Walmart in Kingman.
We ran the generator for a while with the air conditioner on, mainly because it needed to be exercised. Unfortunately I overloaded the circuits (turned on the microwave while the toaster was running and the a/c), which blew one of the circuits on the generator. Fortunately we knew what to do this time: climb under the rig, remove the front panel from the generator, locate the circuit breaker, and turn it back on. Unfortunately we haven't yet bought a creeper, so crawling under the rig was rather awkward and painful for my bruised ribs. Teach me a lesson.
