Chaco Trading Post to Grants Photos

Sunset form the night before. You can see rain plumes a well.

Best thing about pavement riding? I can put my donuts just on top of my handlebar bag and they won't fall off.

Morning Views

This bride connected two sides of a mining operation

So this is where I took a brea 40 miles into my ride. The storm on the left doubled in size in about 15 minutes and was throwing lightning everwhere, but it moving left (East) away from my route. The storm on the right was huge and rainy, but had much less lightning (thank goodness). I rode right through it.

Look at all that murder mud. Also the Uranium Mine. For a long time I rode besides a fence with signs that said "everything beyond this fence is radioactive."

Shots of Grant's Parks

Water is there on purpose, I think.

Route 66 being replaced by I40 hit Grants hard.

They are still trying though

Outside the mining museum, which was closed today (Sunday)

And one last shot of the Chaco Trading Post sunset last night.
