Gallup, NM to Holbrook, AZ......21st October

A complete change of plan as the temperature was down again overnight to 21F . After checking the weather channel Santa Fe is put on hold for another time as there will be more overnight frosts, the elevation is 7000ft in Santa Fe......
We turn left and head west along the i-40 back into Arizona to Holbrook....
Holbrook is another Historic Route 66 destination......we are still singing the song interspersed with "It's  A Bloody Mary Morning".......
The Wigwam Motel on Route 66.....

We had forgotten that Arizona don't change their clocks for daylight savings so we spent  most of the day an hour out....oh shucks it's even longer to 5 o'clock !!!
Staying here tomorrow to visit The Petrified Forest National Park.....

  1. Oh damn, what with Mike's email and this blog I now cant get the damn Route 66 song out of my brain! All those thoughts of my youth!! I know, you're surprised I can remember that far back.. As always have thoroughly enjoyed the photos, particularly all those Western themed ones, all I ever wanted to be as a kid was a cowboy! Leave for Singapore and Perth on Sunday, will try and follow your progress but forgive me if comments are few. Take care, love from us both, Alan and Maxine

  2. We know the feeling with the song !! Michael actually remembered more of the words than me and was the one who said when we decided to stop in Gallup "I'm sure that's mentioned in the song "
    Ahhh you've had made a wonderful cowboy...
    Hope all goes well with your up coming trip...
    I shall try to find the odd water-tower to keep you amused.....we're right by the railroad line here, wow the amount of freight that is moved...I'm certainly getting an overdose of trains....
    Love to you both
    M & S
