We are planning a day trip on the morning of the 14th. You are welcome to join us. It is about 2 hours north.
I have a love affair with Petrified Wood. Make sure you stop at Jim Gray's Petrified Wood Co. Located in Holbrook at the junction of Hwy 77 and US 180 ( the Hwy that goes to the south entrance to the park), this is the best selection of everything in the area. Plus, it's a free museum. Words cannot do justice. Plan enough time to browse this amazing store.
Local Casino with a Sports Bar where Doug met his Navajo friend TO.
Three hour drive to Monument Valley to the exact Forrest Gump spot. That's 6 hours round trip!
If you are in Phoenix and have time - stop by for lunch or dinner. They have 2 locations.
