We decided to push it to Albuquerque on day two in order to have a shorter final day. Only seven hours of driving and at least two seemed to be spent sitting in traffic from road work just outside of Albuquerque. Gus was very excited to get into the car in the morning. Maybe he’s a car dog now? Before we got started though, he had his first encounter with a cactus-a prickly pear. I spotted it in time and steered him well clear, much to his annoyance.
It’s nearly hidden off to the right of the picture.
We pulled into Gallup to switch drivers and got to drive a few miles on Historic Route 66 in order to find some grub and give Gus the chance to stretch his legs.
More snow in Northern Arizona and New Mexico than in Illinois!
Lots of windy roads over mountains rounded out the end of the day before we rolled into the Phoenix valley. I’m sure the view was outstanding but I have a thing with heights from a car, which is odd because I’m totally fine with heights in every in other circumstance.
Gus took a little while to settle in at my in-laws but not too long.
