Arizona and Back

After coffee this morning at Denny's in the Flying J, I headed west (at least for 40 miles) to Lupton, Arizona to pick up some cigars to tide me over until my order comes in. Since I had to go into Gallup to pick up some groceries anyway, I decided to do all at once.

It was a nice drive with clear skies.

One can tell it is vacation season by the high numbers of RVs on the road.

After making my purchase at Tee Pee Trading Post, I headed back into Gallup to get a few groceries. I managed to finish everything by 12:40. Not bad.

It is just as well that I took care of everything today since it is forecast that we may be getting some monsoon thunderstorms this weekend.
