Andrej and Astrid had arrived on Saturday and we have shown them around in San Diego over the weekend and yesterday.

Today after checking the weather in all our possible travel destinations we decide to take the route going east on HWY 8 to Yuma, passing the impressive sand dunes in Winterhaven and then heading north through country side Arizona towards HWY 10 and eventually Prescott.

Only today Astrid and Andrej start realizing how big this country is. They are impressed with the vastness of the desert and the size of the trailers. Before arriving in Prescott we see a group of about 20 horses, we are not sure if they are wild or not at first but then see that one of them has a mark – then we pass over some mountains with dense forests and head into Prescott. We have an opulent dinner at the Golden Corral and then take a room at the Arizona Inn (former Days Inn) in Prescott Valley.
