August 20th - Petroglyphs & Power Wagons

Before we left Albque this AM, Lynn & I took Max for a walk at Petroglyphs National Monument. If you haven’t been there it's a great place and just off the I-40 freeway on the west side of town. Lots of ancient petroglyphs to see in an old volcanic area covered with black lava rock.

I have two low tires on the trailer and have a difficult time getting them aired up at a couple of different gas stations. Seems like "Free Air" is a thing of the past & the ones that require quarters don't work worth a damn. It takes almost 1/2 hour & a trip to two service stations to fill the tires.

We are taking a much shorter and more direct route back through Cuba and Farmington. Two stops, one in Farmington and the other in Durango at Home Depot. My old friend, Arthur, who lives in the Durango area met us in the parking lot to see the old truck we have on the trailer. I have purchased and added a 4-sale sign on the windshield of the old truck. We are in 4WD country & it may be fairly easy to sell here.

We stop in Dolores for dinner at the Naked Moose and a few groceries in Dolores. We are back in Rico by 9pm. The load on the trailer was extra heavy making the trip slow & bumpy. By the time we arrive back home we are really tired and ready to be out of the truck. It was nice to be away for a weekend but I am looking forward to getting back at it tomorrow.
