Beginning to see mesas and "monuments" in the distance...
Though I frequently would see oil wells pumping away, I was seldom quick enough to get a photo of them.
Then there were these black shiny rocks which we couldn't identify.
Coming to a stop where another highway joins...just love that huge pile of rocks...
We stopped to pick up a snack...which ended up taking 30 minutes to prepare a "to-go" of bread, veggies and a very heavily garlic hummus. Apparently everyone who was seated got preference.
There's that brilliant salmon colored earth! And look at those wrinkled mountains!~
Georgia O'Keeffe would definitely love this!
First view of Medicine Hat...behind those power lines...shucks.
We kept exclaiming over the beautiful colors!
We crossed a bridge over the Santa Fe River
