Road Trip Day 10

We left Williams after eating breakfast at the Pine Country Restaurant. We are tired and are now concentrating on getting home, heading out on US 40.

We could have checked out the Arizona Meteor Crater, but didn't.

We could have gone into Winslow Arizona, but didn't. But that didn't stop the Eagles "Take it easy, take it easy..." song from going through my head every time a Winslow Arizona sign came along.

We could have visited the Petrified Forest National Park, but didn't.

We turned north at Gallup, New Mexico. Driving up US 491 in New Mexico, one of the interesting features were these monuments rising out of the sandy desert here and there:
We met up with the bikers again on US 491 between Gallup and Farmington, coming the other direction. Apparently they went up to the Grand Canyon and came out the east entrance on US 64.
We drove through the corner of Colorado. The landscape turned green, with trees and farmland, almost as soon as we crossed the state line.

Here is an interesting formation that can be seen coming for many miles down US 191 from Monticello, Utah:
We are staying in Moab again for the night. We had excellent Mexican food at Fiesta Mexicana. If you are traveling all over Southern Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico, you really need to do Mexican food at least once.
