Hubbell Trading Post and Petrified Forest NM

From Monument Valley, we headed into Arizona.  A quick stop at the Hubbell Trading Post was a look into the past!  The items for sale in the gift store were gorgeous, but well beyond our budget!  As we looked longingly at the woven Dineh (Navajo) rugs, we staggered back when we saw the prices!
We took a few hours to drive through the Petrified Forest National Monument.  There were some wonderful petroglyphs along the way, and wood-turned-to-rock all around.  There  was an "other-worldly" feel to the park!
As we crossed the Utah-Arizona border, it felt as if we made the turn toward home. From here in  Holbrook, we plan a night or two out away from services before we point the horse toward the barn in Oregon!
