The Grand Canyon is so huge it makes the mind boggle. Our aim was to make at least some distance to Monument Valley Tribal Park after a brief look at Grand Canyon. Truth is it is such a huge wonder that our day did not do it justice.
The evening found us in Tuba City Arizona
in the Hopi Indian Reservation in the Navajo indian State. We booked a room in an NGO hotel.
The service was good and we got a kick out of supporting the Indians.
We have found that:- Americans are hospitable
- the food is good value
- they all have an accent not like us at all
- the country around the corners of the four states is unlike any we have ever seen
- The corner states are
- Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico
- Monument Valley is awesome
- The country to the North of the valley is also awesome
- the roads are really good
- speed limit is 65mph in our terms 110kph
- Colorado where this is being written is true to John Denver "Rocky Mountain High".
Visiting Mesa Verde National Park tomorrow
The site Pueblo Indian cliff dwellings from 1100AD till early 1300AD still intact and sacred grounds.
Then back to the Mother road "Route 66" rejoining it at Gallup New Mexico.
We are "Cruisin America" in a convertible with the Sat. music cranked up.
Pure Rock n Roll.
