We left Arizona late Monday morning, taking the same route through Payson and Route 191 across the Navajo Indian reservation. Lately we'd been having bad luck traveling during holiday weekends, mostly because we didn't even know we were traveling on a busy weekend until we were stuck in the middle of it, but this trip we knew ahead of time. We knew we'd be against traffic heading out of metro Phoenix for the weekend, but it was never more obvious how
against the majority we were until we hit the mountains in Payson, and the bumper to bumper stream of cars and travel trailers trying to get back to the city.
It probably took those people five hours to do the ninety miles down the mountain.
Since we got a late start most of our drive across the Navajo Reservation was simply, beautifully......
illuminated.
For the rest of the picnic pictures, check out
Flickr. I wasn't intending to skip over so much of the weekend, but as I type this we're in a hotel outside Rocky Mountain National Park, eager to experience it tomorrow, and I know me: If I didn't get
something posted tonight, it'd all be ancient history after the excellenceness that we're sure to behold tomorrow.
