Leaving Holbrook, Arizona fairly early in the morning, our goal was to stop at Stewart's Trading Post to check for Route 66 and other memorabelia. They were closed, but I HAD to take pictures of the strange maniquins.
Leaving Arizona, our first stop in New Mexico was Richardson's Cash Pawn and Trading Post in Gallup. We enjoyed looking at the fabulous turquoise jewelry, but managed to leave without buying a thing. Our next stop was along the edge of the massive El Malpais lave flow where we hiked to the crater of the Bandera Volcano and then cooled off in the ice cave

Our next plan was to stop at Acoma Pueblo: Sky City. Unfortunately, they had closed early to celebrate a cultural holiday so we were unable to visit the pueblo. We settled for pictures from afar.
As we traveled, we did our best to stay on as much of the old Route 66 as possible, though it was often hard to tell if we were on the right road and traveling in the right direction. We were overjoyed when we thought we were lost but came across this:
Traveling the old highway meant we were lucky to see a variety of old bridges.
