MONDAY
SEPTEMBER 17, 2012
The most memorable part of Monday was the Sunrise.
I was up in time to catch the awesome
sight of the morning light
silhouetting the mountains
looking toward Mesa Verde.
Sun rising in Cortez, Colorado
I caught the flames from our
Banana Split - Briefing Bonfire
at the end of our day.
Interesting that I would have
the colors of flames
as bookends to this day.
TUESDAY
SEPTEMBER 18, 2012
Today was a travel day which for us
began at 9:25AM in Cortez, CO,
and concluded at GOULDINGS RV PARK
in Monument Valley, UTAH at 1:43 PM MT.
By 10:18 AM, we were at The Four Corners Navajo Monument,
where they charged the small fee of $3 per person,
to see where the States of
UTAH, COLORADO,
ARIZONA, NEW MEXICO
intersect.
The flags of each state and the American flag
greeted us.
Many people where eager to
be photographed with
some part of their body touching
each of the four States.
I was so thankful I had the agility
to be able to strike this pose.
Navajo Arrow making artist
Robert Charley with some of his
creations. He had one of the
booths that surrounded the
Four Corners Monument.
The stone he prefers to make
his Arrows with was a black
Asserite from California.
A Navajo Potter, named Paul Lansing
is responsible for these beautiful Vases
with free hand Hummingbird etchings.
Russ purchased one of these Guitar picks
with a musical note inlaid,
made by Orlando Chatteiz,
just for the novelty of it.
Now that he has tried it,
it will become a nice piece of jewelry,
since the lady selling it gave his a chain for it.
As we entered back into UTAH,
this is some of the scenery along
US Hwy 163 South.
UTAH is a "free range" State
for livestock. This lone horse
was along Monument Valley Road, as
we approached Gouldings RV Park.
I think I will name this photo
BLACK BEAUTY.
