09.24.17 The Blue Hole in Santa Rosa, New Mexico

Sunday, September 24, 2017 - When we decided to go see the Blue Hole in Santa Rosa near Route 66 we really didn't know what to expect.  It was very awesome, but I can't even say I understand it at all, so I've included info from their website and a couple of their graphics/pictures along… Continue reading 09.24.17 The Blue Hole in Santa Rosa, New Mexico

09.23.17 – To Sante Fe or BUST! – Sante Fe, New Mexico

Saturday, September 22, 2017 - Traveling Route 66 is kind of like trying to find your way anywhere in the dark.

09.19.17 Petrified Forest and Painted Desert on Route 66 in Arizona

On the first impression, the Petrified Forest may not sound very appealing as it comprises stone log fragments scattered over a rather remote and otherwise featureless section of the Arizona desert. Apparently, it comes as a little disappointment to some, like us, who expect the trees still to be standing in thick rocky groves instead… Continue reading 09.19.17 Petrified Forest and Painted Desert on Route 66 in Arizona

09.18.17 Route 66 on the way to the Petrified Forest, Arizona

Monday, September 18, 2017 - When we left Williams, Arizona we drove down Route 66, when we could, on our way to the Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert.  I say "when we could" because it doesn't exist everywhere it use to.   In some places Route 66 has simply been replaced with I-40.  In… Continue reading 09.18.17 Route 66 on the way to the Petrified Forest, Arizona
