Day Trip

    Stayed close to home today with a little drive to St Johns and up US180 towards Holbrook. Turned right seventeen miles before getting to Holbrook to drive through Petrified Forest N.P. to Painted Desert. The weather was not cooperating the level of the setting sun was just right to capture the colours but there was a band of cloud in the wrong place and the park closes before the sun was low enough to shine under the clouds. The sunset was a good one whilst driving home via Sanders.

Route 66

 This car ain't gonna make it to California. It's facing the wrong way.
Tiny ray of the setting sun reached the Painted Desert

     Back in a couple of days. Off to Santa Fe and Taos, NM tomorrow.
