Paved roads-what a dream!

We took the morning to work, clean out the car, and just get ourselves back together after our long day and night yesterday. Left Page, AZ (a city founded in 1957 when the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam was started) and started our ride toward Albuquerque, NM. We found a route which took us along the Vermillion Cliffs and through the Navajo and Hopi Indian Reservations...we made sure they were actual paved roads before we took off. It was a scenic drive as we passed mesas, canyons, cliffs and then into the high desert, then forest, then desert again. We are staying in a fairly large town (Grant NM) tonite. Checked into our motel in time to get to Homecoming at the local high school and the Friday Night Lights football game. Paul has wanted to catch a game since the season started (loves Friday night games) so off we went. The home team won! We hope to get to see some of the Balloon Fest tomorrow in Albuquerque.

It was dark when we got to AZ last night, so had to get this photo on the way out.

Saw this canyon on the way out of Page-pretty cool.

Welcome to New Mexico-yeah!

Pretty awesome sunset on the way to Grant, NM
