Day 56 – Travel Day from the Grand Canyon Az to Gallup NM – 270 miles


It wasn’t bad for a travel day. We were on the road at 9. As we were driving from the Grand Canyon we came across a really nasty two-car crash. The cops and firemen were there, but we didn’t see any of the occupants. Not a pretty way to start the day.

We passed through the Painted Desert and the Petrified Forest. That was kind of neat. The scenery was particularly pretty at the Arizona/New Mexico border and is the photo for today!

We lost an hour due to time zones, but we made it here to Gallup at 3:30. We got set up, and this wonderful little male puppy came to greet us. He apparently has been hanging around the KOA for a couple of weeks. The manager did call animal control, but when they showed up, the puppy was no where to be found. I would love to take him with us, but it wouldn’t be practical for us or for the dog. Sigh.

Tomorrow it is on to Santa Fe for four nights.
