Monday, May 27, 1929


It was the earliest yet this morning when we started - 6:25. That was even before we had breakfast except for some fruit for June and I and coffee for Mom and Pop. About an hour out we hit pavement and we got into Phoenix at eight thirty where we had breakfast. At Phoenix we got bumped in the back and bent the trunk rack again but nothing very bad. A little while out of Phoenix we hit dirt road again. We continued thru desert until after lunch which we had at Prescott at about one thirty. A little while before lunch we began to go up and the hills began to get grander. All afternoon we’ve been traveling thru beautiful green country with little trees at first and finally just before we stopped we encountered trees big enough for lumbering and that were being used. We are stopping at a De Luxe Auto Camp at Williams just sixty three miles from the Grand Canyon which we will see tomorrow. We stopped at four forty today. Early start, early stop.
Jane’s Notes: Prescott is North of Phoenix. They seem to be following highway 89 towards the Grand Canyon. Williams is on highway 64 which leads into Grand Canyon National Park.
