Here is another day of traveling east. We left Holbrook, AZ this morning at 8:15 a.m. and arrived at Tucumcari, NM at 4:15 p.m. We drove about 400 miles today.

Seen a lot of nice mountains in Arizona and the beginning of New Mexico. Then they turned into hills. We have never been west of Williams, Arizona before on I-40. Williams is where we drove to Grand Canyon area.

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.

This is a little blurry, but the only picture I could get of the Rio Grande and I-40. They don't give you much warning that it is at this location. There is a lot of growth in the area of the river too.

A mountain where we got off tonight for the campground.

We are at this town and the next picture is because of route 66 going down their street. Remember the show in the 60's (I think) called Route 66 with Kookie and combing his hair a lot. Oops dating myself.

This sign is in the same town as the last pictures. You see these in many places because route 66 crosses I-40 a lot. I do remember when I came out west with my girl friend, Annette, and her parents that we drove on route 66.

Neither one of us can imagine eating this size of a steak. I wonder what the price would be when you didn't eat it.
