September 4th. I packed up last night and we’re ready to roll. It’s a lovely morning; a clear sky and air warm enough to make one understand it will heat up fast today. I give The Chiweenie Brothers their breakfast and while they eat I get dressed. A quick walk for their morning business, and we’re on our way. Goodbye Bluewater. We’ll be back!
Once we are back at I-40 we cross the freeway and catch the on ramp heading west, Gallup NM our destination. It’s only about 30 miles away.
I need to find the library, the post office, and a branch of my bank. Gallup is an old town, and to my dismay all the places I need to be are in the old part of town which was built on uneven terrain. We go up and we go down, circle the library a few times and still cannot find a place to park.
We go up and we go down searching for the bank. Geez, one could easily lose a mirror on these narrow streets! Once I locate it I see a couple of parking spots, but the lot is TINY. I pull in and jockey MissAdventure around, finally getting her parked. Being careful not to hit the car next to me with the door I squeeze out and head for the bank’s doors. They aren’t quite open yet. I get in the line waiting.
In just a few minutes the doors are unlocked. In I go and get my business taken care of, trot back out to the van, and decide once I get out of this parking lot that I will forego the post office and will not even try for the library again. We’re outta here.
Back on I-40 we say goodbye to New Mexico and enter Arizona where we stop in Holbrook and 2DogsTravel get a romp at the town’s lovely dog park.
Several large hunks of petrified wood line the roadway leading into the town of Holbrook.
The Chiweenie Brothers have a great time at this lovely park.
Thanks for stopping by 2Dogs! Hugs, Shawna

Love your description of driving and parking in old part of Gallup. I think you would have had better luck with the postoffice; it is out by the WalMart Super Center, ie., in a new part of town, on the west side. I am eager to hear what other unexpected adventures may have come your way. Sylvia

You find the best dog parks! I think you should write a Dog Park Guide Book …

Thank you Adrienne! I appreciate your comment. Dog parks are a priority for The Chiweenie Brothers. I am hoping to revamp the blog at some point after the holidays, and include a page listing the dog parks we discover. I’ve been keeping track.
