Just a few miles down the road from Hatch, we saw our first solar farm. All this time, we had been seeing wind farms all across the country. So this was pretty awesome! And these panels were huge! We had never seen anything like this before.

We had been seeing signs for this Historic Trading Post for about 50-60 miles before the exit for it actually came. And we knew right away that we wanted to stop and see it!

What we didn’t know is that we had to go thru a small tunnel to get there! Plenty of room for us, but I think alot of bigger rigs would have trouble with this one.
