Really Old Wood (Petrified Forest, Nov. 10)

You really cannot find the famous Route 66 on maps anymore, however, we see signs for the old highway all along I-40. Before the interstate highway system, it was the main route between Chicago and Los Angeles. In Holbrook, AZ, we saw the Wigwam Motel, immediately reminding us of the Pixar/Disney animated film, Cars, and the cozy cone motel. Here's our picture:

We drove through Petrified Forest National Park with only two stops. The scenery is nice, but things are looking similar after all we have seen thus far. Here's Jen on the Giant Logs trail (will anything look large after the redwoods and giant sequoias?).


We stayed the night at the Albuquerque Central KOA, in a cabin after seeing the overnight low in the thirties. It smelled like a nursing home.
