We shopped for a couple of hours, then met up and decided to hike...but it was noon and Jim hadn't eaten (Jo Nell and I had stopped at a Starbucks while we shopped, because I needed the wireless to send a picture of some jewelry to Kasia for her approval, which came within five minutes!) None of us wanted to take a lot of time over a meal, and Jim said, there's a McDonalds, let's just go there. So we had ice cream and cold drinks, he had lunch, and off we went to spend the afternoon hiking.
At the end of the day, we were going to stay in the Flagstaff KOA. We pulled up and I went to the desk, since it was my turn to pay. As they filled out the forms and charged my card, I saw a sign warning RVers that it was going to get down to freezing that night and to unhook their water hoses.
Tonight? I said, or are these from some other night? Nope, said the people behind the desk (who were all wearing heavy coats, I noticed), tonight.
So I went back out to the car. Freezing, I said, tonight. Are you guys good with this? I have a truck.
Jo Nell said she didn't have anything like enough warm stuff to get down to freezing. You could sleep in the truck with me if you want, I said, there's plenty of room.
No, said Jo Nell, I'm paying for a motel. So I went back in, got my money refunded, and she did. It was lovely.
