We left Colorado, but it seems we didn't leave all the interesting rock formations. This one is in New Mexico.
This is Shiprock, which lends its name to Shiprock, New Mexico, on the Navajo Reservation. We stopped there at a grocery store. We felt like we were in a different country. I think we were the only non-natives in the whole town. The grocery store was a real eye-opener. Now I can understand why the they have such a high incidence of obesity and diabetes. We tried to find some whole-grain crackers and cheese for lunch. The only crackers were things like Cheezits, and the cheese was American. The produce section was very small. How can you be healthy when your food options are so dismal?
Our next stop was the welcome center at the Arizona border. Again, rocks! This one is called Painted Rock.
We stopped for the night in Show Low, Arizona. After a trip to a local wildlife area to look for birds (we found a couple) we returned to our room for an early night. Tomorrow, Tucson!
