Bisti Badlands
On Sunday Afternoon, we drove from Gallup to Farmington and on the way we visited the Bisti Badlands. There was a threat of showers with mostly cloudy and very windy. We took plenty of water and wore windbrakers and started on about a 3 mile round trip into the badlands. The blowing sand was a nasty fine grey powder that just loved to get into everything. We hiked across something that resembled the surface of the moon. A gentleman who was in the parking lot when we got 
there said he walks here often and advised us to follow the dry wash until we saw two black pillars. So that is what we did. We saw all sorts of little hoodoos, petrified wood and many interesting formations.
