Day 10: We started our day with a trip to the "Standing on a Corner" Park in Winslow. It's a nice place and cool to see that the town of Winslow has taken the effort in capatilizing on the opportunity. The park is well maintained, very clean and the gift store across the street plays Eagles music. It was a good start.
We headed off to the Petrified Forest National Forest? Might be National Park. There are many petrified wood shops surrounding the park and we stopped and browsed. We made some small purchases and headed to the park. It was about what we expected, except for the educational additions. We learned about the Triassic Period and how the petrification process works. Simply amazing what 225 million years and a significant drift in the continent will do.
On to New Mexico. We didn't really have much planned in New Mexico for the day, and a speeding ticket was past due, so I killed two birds with one stone. Yep, 83 in a 65.
I know, I know. I turned the driving over to Kelsey for the rest of the day. She did really good and took the speed limits more as a rule and less of a suggestion as I had been doing. It might be better to have her finish the trip home.
We stopped in Las Cruces, NM for the night, White Sands National Monument tomorrow.
