A bit of trivia. In the long hall that led to our rooms was a table ( In the above picture) with local magazines, for the patrons to look over. It just so happened that there was a quarterly from the "Ferrari Owners Association". I picked it up and paged through it, noticing that the address of the Ferrari Association was "18000 STUDEBAKER Road, Cerritos, CA"

First stop, enroute to Gallup was the "Petrified Forest". The turn off Route 66, at Holbrook, onto Rte 180, took us through a vast emptiness, to the South Entrance to the park.. You could look 40 miles in any direction and see nothing but a beautiful unmolested landscape |
