Holbrook AZ

So it appears we're going to backtrack a bit this morning...we were both hungry and tired and wanted to get off the road yesterday and bypassed stopping to see the Petrified Forest.  Fortunately it's only about 20 miles back, so we think it will be well worth the time to go back to see it.
We covered a lot more ground yesterday than we have been, about 350 miles, including crossing the Continental Divide.  Now that's not much by my road warrior standards, but this trip has been all about back roads and taking our time.  Plus, driving through the heart of all the cities rather than blasting around them on the interstate takes up a lot more time too.  There are areas where 66 is completely gone or so badly deteriorated that it's impossible to drive, so the alternate routes are usually the freeway, but generally those stretches have been only 5-15 miles long.  We missed a turn yesterday and wound up doing about 10 miles along an old frontage road better suited to pickup trucks than my Camaro. but I think we managed to get through it without damage.  I'm thinking really strongly about buying new tires on the west coast though, because the road surfaces here are really abrasive and the skins are certainly showing their age.  Even with only 26K miles, they're reaching the end of their useful life. I'm not looking forward to seeing that bill!
We sat outside last night and watched the sun go down.  I got a few pictures of a very pretty sky that I hope you all will enjoy.  Bye for now!
