Coconino National Forest – Flagstaff, Arizona

Finally – relief from the scorching temperatures.  We are boondocking among the Ponderosa trees and fields of yellow wild flowers.  The high altitude is providing a more bearable climate.  Like Florida, the west has had unusually high temperatures and finding the 70’s has proved difficult.  We enjoyed our time here and a visit to the town of Flagstaff was fifteen miles away.  When traveling, it sometimes is difficult to get items you need sent to you in the mail.  Mostly, bigger cities have Amazon pick up in lockers or designated stores.  We went into town to pick up some ordered products and decided to explore the town.  Flagstaff is a college and tourist town.  Their down town is filled with eateries, unique stores and it is off Route 66.  We were able to find eateries offering gluten free meals. (Good for me!) We had a leisurely lunch at the Pita Jungle and the next day we found a little hole in the wall establishment offering gluten free pizza.  The remaining time was spent enjoying the campground and getting for our next stop in Peoria, Arizona.
