INTO NEW MEXICO

IMG_1027 After leaving the beauty of the Petrified Forest behind, we headed into New Mexico. Once again our scenery changes.IMG_1028

From Gallup we turned south on Highway 602 and then east on Highway 53. We drove through Ramah and turned right about 7 miles later on BIA 125. Another 8 miles down the road we turned onto a gravel road, BIA 120, and continued on for another four miles to our destination.

  2. New Mexico has great deals for camping in their state park system. We're looking forward to that maybe this fall.

  5. I bought a coloring book about the Navajo Code Talkers when we were in that area. A fun way to learn some serious history.
