November 7th, Tuesday
We left Big Bend National Recreation area, went through Laughlin and near Kingman we hiked the Camp Beale Loop. 3.2 miles, counter clockwise. Rough on dog paws (prickers) but nice easy walk, some nice views.
Drove east on 40 taking a little detour to Peach Springs (Hualapai indian reservation) and got some gas and coffees. Looks like some roads would go north to the south rim but its on the reservation so would need to investigate if this can be done. We were on route 66 doing this detour. Back to I-40, stopped in Williams at Safeway and got Bailey’s then south on 17 from Flagstaff to Rimrock (Larry and Leslie’s)
Shortly after arrived Holly and Cody were playing and they ran right into my left leg. Took me down and sprained my knee bad. Very bad, cannot walk, they had crutches which I have used since. I am afraid they may have ruptured cruciate and that I won’t be able to walk for awhile. Screwed… as no hiking for weeks and painful and can’t do anything.
Thant night we went out to a friend of theirs Italian restaurant YUM. Forgot the name 🙁
