Today we left Durango and ended up in Gallup, New Mexico.  It was about a 5 hour drive over mostly 2 lane roads with a lot of slow downs for road work.  The scenery changed yet again... no more mountain roads!  Instead, everything turned brown with these huge rocks just jutting out of the ground.  Dust was bad, in one picture you can see a fog along the bottom, that was dust blowing across the highway.  We saw another small dust tornado.... just so weird to see!

Our campground is just an overnight stay place, although it looks like a few people have set up home here.  It's gravel... lots and lots of gravel, but very neat and clean.  And so hot.... was 92 today.  Funny, 92 here seems hotter than 92 at home.... maybe because we have some moisture in the air and here everything is dry dry dry.  The news is filled with stories on the huge brush fires burning here.  I hadn't seen Judge Judy in 3 weeks, finally today find it on cable and they break in after 15 minutes with a new fire burning near Albuquerque.  We walked the dogs over in the dirt/dust/sand and poor Lucy was lifting 2 feet at a time because the ground was so hot.  I know they both miss their grassy back yard!

Tomorrow we'll be heading to Williams, Arizona for a few days where we'll go to the Grand Canyon.  Not sure what else is in Williams... I think a lot of train things from what I can find online. 

After the Grand Canyon, we'll be homeward bound! We'll probably take 3 or 4 days to get home, it will be a 1400 mile drive!  Hard to believe our trip is almost over!

Bailey wants to know "are we there yet"??  haha
