At the bottom of the hike on Cedar Ridge we enjoyed a couple of granola bars. At the same time, the rest of the gathered crowd were entertained by the hustler squirrel who was trying to con everyone out of whatever granola bars or fruit they had with them. We were not fooled or impressed, on account of the fact that we have had experience both with squirrels and hustlers.
On the way back toward Flagstaff, we drove through the Wupatki National Monument and Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument. We stopped a few times to look at the preserved pueblos on the grounds of Wupatki Nat'l Mon.
On the culinary front we tried our first restaurant from Jane & Michael Stern's Road Food. El Bravo in Phoenix specializes in Arizona-Mex. Steph had the Navajo Taco, basically a chalupa on Indian Fried Bread, and Jim had the Chile Rellena Burro, essentially chille rellena wrapped like a burrito.
Tomorrow we take the 310 to Yuma. Or perhaps the Mazda, but either way we will be headed toward our next stop on our way to Baja California.
