On the way to Albuquerque the weather was pleasantly cooler with an occasional rainshower. During my stopover at El Malpais the cloud bursts crescendoed into a rainstorm, which was a spectacular sight being viewed through the panoramic windows from the inside of the observatory. The vast landscape between Flagstaff and Albuquerque featured lava flows, window rocks, mesas and mountain ranges. After crossing the New Mexico stateline, I followed the mother road through Gallup with a visit to the Richardson Trading Post, and thereafter continued to Grant, Los Lunas and across the Rio Grande into Albuquerque.
