It's interesting that so many people have driven through Gallup! I am surprised, but then not surprised, of the number of people familiar with the town.

I originally wasn't going to do a phototour of Gallup, since I had arrived so late into town (I had taken all day driving from Flagstaff, stopping at Meteor Crater, Winslow, Holbrook, and the Petrified Forest). But with the amount of neon in the town, I figured, why not? Sometimes at night is the best time to see a place.
For the record, I did a photothread at night before of a place, for the same reason. I took pictures of Wildwood Crest's (NJ) Motel District at magic hour, because of the neon signs there.

Yes, very relatively speaking. Farmington is a 110-mile drive north of Gallup, and north of I-40. Gallup is probably the closest significant city to Farmington, but only because Farmington is out in the middle of nowhere.

btw, you can do a tour of a city all the way out in New Mexico, but can't stop by Ithaca on one of your trips upstate? tsk-tsk  
Thanks for the tour. |
I'll get there eventually. It looked like I would be up there for work last year, but it didn't happen. Maybe I'm saving Ithaca for a special occasion!
