We left Albuquerque this morning around 8:30am and we made our first stop just outside of town at Petroglyph National Monument. Native Americans used to live here and left markings all over the rocks. It's a good thing they are old and have some cultural value, because I don't think they could stand on their own artistic merit. I also saw the biggest rabbit I have ever seen in my life. It could have easily eaten us.
We're on the road now, and the scenery west of Albuquerque is beautiful. The landscape is amazing, and you can easily see for 75 miles in any direction.
Today we will be driving through the Painted Desert, Petrified Forrest National Park, Meteor Crater and at least two gas stations claiming to have the longest map of Route 66. Towns we will be driving through include Winslow AZ, where I'm hoping to stop and stand on the corner and Flagstaff.
