OK, so a lot has happened the last few days. we have been without WIFI and good coverage. Tonight we are in Monticello Utah, and we are staying in a motel, so I finally have some WIFI!
Here is another couple of shots from Navaho Lake. Nice spot to camp, and we had a great view.
Here was our setup - of course with a shot of the old RoadKill Runner!
Watching the sunset from our camp site.
From there we drove to Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. Two main points here. 1) Getting there requires driving on some really bad dirt roads that beat the living heck out of the car. If anything was not fully tightened down, it would come loose! We have some awesome videos Barry took of the back wheel of the car while we were driving - I'll have to figure out how to post them. (2) Chaco Canyon was way cool.
Here is the DIRTY and DUSTY car. Since we kept the windows open (no A/C), the inside is just as bad as the outside!
Chaco Canyon was built by the Native Americans between about 900-1250. Seriously cool engineering and construction skills. Here are a few shots to give you the idea. The bottom line is this is a really cool place to visit.
This was a community gathering spot. Originally it had a roof over it.
This is the one town in Chaco Canyon (there are several others).
Overall, a place that is tough to get to, but well worth the trek. We also did a 4 mile hike up to set of ruins on the mesa. Again, super nice!
