Journal:
Julie went for a run around town while Dave did some planning, then we walked to a nearby Denny's restaurant for an American breakfast before going to the nearby Walmart to do our shopping.
After returning to our motel room and sorting out what had to be mailed ahead we tried to organise the local on-demand bus service to take us to the post office, but they said they were too busy. So, after lunch, Julie walked the 4km to the post office (and return) to mail our parcels while Dave tried to sort out payment for his prepaid Verizon phone service using an Australian credit card. Harder than it sounds and still not done.
The famed Route 66 passes through Grants and we walked along some of it yesterday on our way into town. It's one of the town's tourist attractions and Julie saw more Route 66 signage around town on her journey to the post office today.
After laundry later in the afternoon, we bought dinner at a nearby restaurant and ate it in our room before having an early night.
Back on the road/trail tomorrow.
