Arizona: Passing and Staying — Stone That Remembers, Places That Don’t Care

From the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, the next destination was the Petrified Forest National Park...

..into the Painted Desert.

A few shots from the road...

..that led back into New Mexico...

What in the Breaking Bad...,?

..where the Quarai unit of the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument in Mountainair was closed.

Quite rude.

Fortunately, there were still some good shots in the area...

..as well as some creepiness...

..and a new friend.

I can tell he felt the same way.
