April 6 - Off to Arizona

Today, I had my interview with the respiratory therapy program selection committee at 9:30 AM then we hit the road for Arizona. We wanted to do at least one more 'getaway' just in case I got into the program (which I found out I did on April 10 - yea!!)

We stopped in Gallup, NM for the night. We camped at Red Rocks Park just east of Gallup off of I-40. It's a nice park, although they really needed to do some cleanup while we were there - LOTS AND LOTS of sand had blown in and covered a lot of the campsites and its not too dog friendly as its covered in goatheads (read one of my earlier blog posts describing those nasty buggers). We started on one of the trails to Navajo Church Rock but the pups (really it was the pups) pooped out on us so we turned around and just drove in & around Gallup, NM along the Historic Route 66.
