Sunday morning we attended church services where Ana & Jonathan Newman performed along with a native Navajo flutist. We had lunch in Gallup, New Mexico at the Route 66 Railway Cafe before heading into Arizona’s Petrified Forest enroute to Sedona. The petrified trees we saw were present when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Our Thumper voyage to Sedona had even gustier winds up to 40 MPH, providing our most challenging driving experience to date!?!? We settled into Rancho Sedona RV Park for our RV cooked dinner. We are now 3 hours behind the east coast time zone. AhóÁ, Nizhónígo Nee Ado’áát (Cheers, good health, & have a nice day in Navajo),   m, b & t
