Go West ol' man - Day 1 August 4

 Decided that I should revist a place my sister and I did when my folks took us out to CA to visit my Aunt, Uncle and cousins.  We drove out to CA in a 64 Comet (don't think it had AC) but regardless, a place that I remember seeing was the Petrified Forest and Painted Desert.  Don't know why but always wanted to go back so here we go - going west probably about 63 years later (or there abouts).  I'll try to put what we saw on a new daily poast - maybe call it go west - day 1 .....

August 4th - 2026 

Headed out from Coon Rapids around 10:00 AM and pretty uneventful drive. Got gas twice, both times the cost was 3.89 gallon.  Bout what we pay back home.  Using Harvest Hosts, we stopped at Porter's Sculture Park in Montrose, SD.  What a great stop. If you have ever driven east or west on I-90 past Souix Falls, SD, you would have seen the Bull and the Horse from the interstate.    Wayne Porter is the artist that did all these and it is awesome.
