Day 5 — July 21, 1966
“We saw 6 rainbows — 3 at the same time.”
As we were about 90 miles east of Albuquerque we saw 6 rainbows — 3 at the same time. We were not in rain at the time.
At Albuquerque the station attendant (Standard) said that we needed new shocks on back — they seemed to be leaking oil. We got them but Nancy says that Standard looks for things to put on your car.
Impressed with the vastness of the surroundings — mesas, mutes and the humbleness of the Indians' adobes.
The shocks cost $22.67 on top of the gas — 12.2 gallons at $4.50, then 16.7 gallons at $6.50, and 9.5 gallons at $4.20. Lunch was $6.20 and supper $1.73. Stopped at the Petrified Forest — $1.00 admission. Motel in Williams — $14.48.
