Gallup, New Mexico to Chambers, Arizona.

Beautiful road through the desert and Navajo territory up to Utah to see Monument Valley. Quite spectacular. It was a bit of a gruelling day, putting in 8 hours, but well worth it. 

Unusual photo op. 

The rock formations getting to Monument Valley were a teaser.

Sante Fe, to Gallup, New Mexico.

Santa Fe to to Gallup was a 6 hour day going through Albuquerque and many small adobe towns along the way. Gallup was a bit of a dust bowl, mostly an iInterstate strip os gas stations and seedy motels, one of which we stayed at. 

The day started with a major cleaning of the sculpture. I have to clean it every morning, and sometimes during the day.

As a cyclist I found this roadside memorial very moving.
