Mesa Verde, Sedona, Monument Valley

and everything between. We spent two days in Mesa Verde... I felt as if a lifetime might not be long enough. Ruth Ann gave us potatoes, onions and greens from her garden. By a roaring fire, we ate potato soup, grilled cheese sandwiches & a fabulous salad. The night sky, especially the milky way,was a magnificent canopy for our little tent home. We hiked the next day & ate dinner @ the Far View lodge. My elk tenderloin(photo) was perfect.
We drove and drove through Navajo country to Monument Valley. The Native Americans are getting even, tourists are wheeled into the red dust bowl of the valley at extortion prices~~~the mystical beauty intact...it is a sight to behold, we took the Conestoga Wagon into the thick of it... For free! The Navajo also make more tourists $$$$$$ at the flourishing casinos!


Last night we slept in the vortex, Oak Creek Canyon in Sedona. We didn't see UFO's nor John McCain but we did see incredibly beautiful canyons and slept right by Oak Creek with the United Nations of
Campers, almost every nation was represented. We had a fine breafast in a diner in Flagstaff, we have secured a NYT and are happily headed to the North Rim of Grand Canyon.
