Bob's comment was: We just got to the top of the hill and now we go down so we can climb another hill. This is our first time coming or going this way. I enjoyed the drive, lots of mountains and hills. Bob would rather go down to I-10 (southern Arizona) and come home that way.

We chose this way because we wanted to do Petrified Forest & Painted Desert. If we are leaving Bullhead City I think it would be longer to go south. But maybe easier on the fuel pocketbook.
