Day 12. Mile 2293. Arizona border

I've decided to leave 66 for good, or at least for this particular trip.
Since new mexico, 66 has been mostly i40. And while i40 took me through
some stunning new mexico scenery, I'm ready to get off the interstate. A
woman at the tourism borad reccomended 77 to 377 to 89 to 202. Its
supposed to be a very pretty ride. I'm all for beauty.

Speaking of beauty, I've decided that new mexico is my second prettiest
state next to missouri. Granted, the roads are straight, but the
environment really has no contension.

Something smells sweet here in the painted mountains of arizona. I don't
know what it is, but I like it.

Ill stop for gas in holbock, then throw off 66.

Till then
