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.
