I've traveled extensively all over the USA and Canada...on the highway... seeing much of rural America..

but when I first passed thru Gallup NM on the way to the Grand Canyon with my family in our VW camper back in 1985 or 86, I thought that was the most depressing and dumpiest town I'd ever seen in my life..

trips thru there in my subsequent life haven't changed that opinion...
