It wasn’t so early this morning when we got up. It was about seven. We left the Rees Cafe about eight o’clock for the Petrified Forests. We spent about two hours and a half wandering around on the terribly bumpy hilly roads of the cut off. The forests are really very interesting and the wood is beautiful when it is polished. From all along the road almost until we got to Gallup we could see the painted desert. It certainly was gorgeous. We had lunch at Gallup. All afternoon we continued to travel thru queer beautiful formations of rock and cliffs. A little while out of Gallup it started to sprinkle. From then on we had showers at intervals all afternoon. It seems queer that we had to come all the way to dry New Mexico for our first rain on US soil. We wanted to get to Albuquerque tonight but because of missing a road, helping some people with a flat and having our first flat ourselves we couldn’t make it. So we’re putting up at a little dump about twenty miles from there. It’s raining cats.
Jane’s Notes: I-40 is also now US Route 66 in New Mexico.
