At this camp out, the men will be in charge of supplying the side dishes and the main dish will again be a bring your own. There are fire pits, feel welcome to bring wood for the campfire.
Thursday was our day to tour the La Posada Hotel in Winslow and to have lunch there in the Harvey House Dining Room. From there it was on
