Petrified Forest

We left Endee heading West on I40. We stopped in Santa Rosa to look at the Blue Hole but there are no signs to it and people we asked for directions evidently didn't know much about it so it probably isn't much to see if the residents haven't seen it.
We made it to Albuquerque with the intent of seeing Old Town and taking a ride on the Sky Tram. It was so windy that the Sky Tram was shut down. The visibility wasn't great either due to low clouds and dust. We toured Old Town and had a very nice dinner at Little Anita's Mexican Restaurant.

We then hit the road for a while but decided the wind and possible snow would make it a wiser idea to stop for the night at Sky City Casino 16 miles East of Grants. The wind really blew and it snowed a little so maybe our decision was correct. We started late to be sure any ice was gone before we hit the road. It was down to at least 26 degrees at 7am.
We toured the Painted Desert and petrified Forest. It was very cold and windy so we didn't stay outside much.

The painted desert above wasn't too impressive due to the sun not shining. The cloud cover made the hills look rather bland. We'll have to return sometime when the sun is shining.

There were petroglyph's and ruins. I liked the bird. the ruins didn't look real. They were reconstructed ruins. Too bad.

The petrified logs were numerous and larger than expected
Tonight we're at Walmart in Winslow.
The Datastorm wasn't working yesterday nor today. I'm having symptoms of withdrawal.
