Tuesday ~ Painted Desert & Petrified Forest National Park

A beautifully clear morning. We spent it in the National Park. The Painted Desert is truly spectacular, photographs can never do it justice, especially on the screen of this laptop! So many subtle colors. How amazing it is to think how many millions of years Mother Nature has taken to complete these pictures.















The husband made a little friend in the National Park - a crafty Raven (or was it a crow?) He has obviously worked out that tourists are easy targets for scrounging tidbits. Watched him do the same thing to another party away in the distance The bird that is, not the husband!






We'd decided not to stay two nights in Holbrook as originally planned. The motel was unsatisfactory, the room noisy. So, after the National Park tour we headed back along I40 to Gallup, New Mexico, without much of a plan. Checked in at Comfort Inn, a nice-looking motel with an equally nice looking restaurant next door.

Gallup consists mainly of hotels, motels, Indian (Native American) trading posts, and stores selling Indian jewelry and curios. A pleasant enough town, but it was once known as "the armpit of America" - according to Himself.

An advertising brochure for The Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctury, located some 70 miles south of Gallup, caught my eye. We decided to visit on Tuesday. I love wolves - they are special, and the road to Wild Spirit is said to be a scenic drive.
