We left Albuquerque early on Saturday morning, about 6:15 am. The participants in our adventure included Nephew Rob, his friend Frankie, our American Eskimo dog Siku, Sue and myself in the ML320.
After a food stop in Gallup around 8:30, we travelled into Arizona. During the trip, Rob expressed an interest in visiting the Barringer Meteor Crater. The weather was beautiful, about 68° F, so we decided to stop on our way to Phoenix. I had not been there since I was in high school, so was equally excited. While "the boys" traversed the rim of the crater, Siku received admiring comments in the shade of the entry canopy, Sue at her side.
I had forgotten about the steep grade between Flagstaff and Phoenix. Basically, the two towns are about 5,000 feet different in elevation. Down we went to Phoenix with me fretting about whether the 240D would actually be where it was supposed to be and whether it would make it back up the slope on our return trip.
