MC Southwest Roadtrip DAY 5 - Winslow, AZ and the Petrified Forest
Traveling with 3 generations of family in a 2010 Ford Flex we managed to cover a lot of ground with minimal drama. I limited our driving time to about 4 hours or less a day. Today we were heading to Gallup on the western edge of New Mexico. On a map it looked like it would be a boring drive but upon closer inspection I found plenty of Route 66 related fun.
Highway 87 is on fire.

If only these tepees could talk.
White walls and chrome for days.
Rocks and Dinosaurs are a common theme along this stretch.
