We hit the road running towards the Petrified Forest. On the way we stopped for some Navajo food. After some quick research we found some authentic foods from a shepherd's butchery. Dine Grill and Meats had some delicious food. We even met a Navajo-born representative.

After lunch we made it out to the Painted Desert and the Petrified Forest.

  1. Hi Ausmus family!

    Wayne and I are sitting in a collab room for a 1:1, checking up to see that you haven't gotten lost or fallen off the trail somewhere... Hope the return-to-work dread hasn't set in yet!! :)

    See you soon,
    Matt, Wayne, and your other (but less important) Intel buddies

  2. There's a bit of dread of returning to the real world, but, if I have to come back to work, I'm glad it's at Intel with y'all! :D
