There’s not much to write about today and no pictures to post. We drove about 5+ hours today thru the desert. There were a few mountains off to the side and we cut thru a couple of passes, but it was mostly desert land. The areas we came thru are probably the most worthless in the nation, because that is what the government gave to the Indians. The areas were called Navajo Nation and there were many extremely poor homes and run down trailers. It is very sad.
On the way in we saw a sign for an animal crossing, it was a cat, I guess a bob cat or mountain lion. As we were checking in, there were 3 deer grazing just off the trail. Shortly after we got here, Larry wanted to walk up to the Market Plaza which has a restaurant, a grocery store and a post office. He was certain we could cut thru some trees and come out right by it. It would have been shorter to have taken the road. We did see a young female moose (or possibly an elk) about 30 feet off the path. On the way back we saw it again and again we went the long way around. I think we’ll take a drive later to try to get out bearings straight about where everything is.
We probably won’t be posting daily after this while we are at the Grand Canyon. We don’t have internet service here at the trailer so we will have to drive up to the lodge to post this. Tomorrow we need to do some housekeeping chores, cleaning and laundry. Ross and Kelli will be coming in tomorrow evening. So I think we’ll take a day off on the blog. I don’t know what I could find to write about laundry, vacuuming or cleaning the bathroom.
