Today’s journey was shorter than previous ones we have taken
but we wanted to stop here to spend a day at the Petrified Forest National Park.
It was a nice day with no clouds and a high of about 24C. But it was cooler (teens) in the higher
elevations.
 |
| Didn't see any of these guys. |
 |
| We were a little closer to Humphrey's Peak today, elevation 12,636 feet. |
Yesterday we thought we hit a pretty high elevation but
today we climbed some good grades and beat yesterdays reading by reaching 7382 feet. We were so high there was
snow on the side of the road.
When we stopped at a rest area to have lunch Cathy went off
to take some pictures in the field beside the stop. When she came back I asked
if she read the sign posted beside the sidewalk she veered from. (see below)

| The landscape was flat again after climbing |
 |
| A break from the flatness. |
This campground is pretty much empty as well but the owner
says they are starting to see some Snow Birds taking the trek back to the
north.
 |
| Watching the Ontario news outside. |
 |
| A few people came in the campground today. |
I can't seem to create a full trip map short cut so I started at Las Vegas and our trip east.
