States/Territories:  NJ, DE, MD, VA, TN, AR, OK, TX, NM, AZ
Miles Driven:  2,689

We left Santa Fe this morning and continued to head west.  Our next destination was the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest.  What a marvelous place.  The colors, the land sculpture and the tree trunks that have turned into stone are just amazing.  After going through the 28 mile drive, we continued west and stayed in Winslow, Arizona at a restored hotel that was built around 1930.  This place was really neat.  Such stars, politicians and well knowns that stayed here were Cary Grant, Einstein, FDR, Jimmy Stewart, just to name a few.
So many pictures.,  Here are just a few.  Enjoy.
