4 Wheels 4 Girls

When we were at Petroglyph National Monument, we went on a hike up a volcanic ridge to see petroglyphs which were on lava rocks along the ridge. It was a nice sunny day, but we had a problem which was the wind. While hiking up, I lost my sunglasses three times. As we were hiking up, we saw lots of petroglyphs and the trail twisted and turned all over the ridge and I had no idea where our camper was once it was out of sight.

Hiking the Boca Negro Canyon. That is Stella's head amongst the boulders.

On the way back down, there was a sandy trail and then the hike got a little less fun because the sand was blowing into our eyes. Stella saw a roadrunner, a bird common in New Mexico, that hops and runs instead of flies, even though it can fly.

The petroglyphs are carved into volcanic boulders.

After Petroglyph National Monument we went to Trader Joe’s, which is now my favorite grocery store. What I love about it is it is decorated like a beach and I am into tropical stuff. The food there is delicious and we got so many yummy meals, such as shrimp dumplings, four different kinds of pizza, indian meals and bread, and lots more. We also got some kumquats, which are one of my favorite fruits.

On the way back to the campground we had the pizzas, which were delicious. By the time we got back, we were tired from a long, eventful day.
