We don’t have cellphone here so this week is being written on my phone and will be posted later.
59° when I got up and got to a very pleasant 82° for the day. I know we talk about this being the dry side of the mountains however it has been several years since we have been here to enjoy the dry. No dew in the morning everything can be left out and it stays dry. The sky, it is all blue no white spots in it, interesting place.
After dinner Hank and I walked up on the ridge behind the campground and walked around on jeep roads for a while. This is where we turned around:
47 0.877 N 121 7.304 W http://maps.google.com/maps?q=47.01463,-121.12174. It was a nice walk.
Jean and I played cribbage for a while, she took all four games. I think that puts her 13 games ahead.
Monument valley is a really beautiful place and well worth the visit. The first we visited they had a campground which was very run down this must have been 2005. The next time the campground was closed however for $5.00 you could park on the edge of valley over looking The Mittens. It was a really cool place to be and we stayed there several times. When they started to build the hotel even this area was closed. The last several years the official Navaho website has said the campground would reopen in December 2013 and it still says that. The other day I found on the hotel’s website they now have a campground which is open and available for reservations. View sites on the edge are $39.95 a night. There is a restroom and shower but says nothing about water or dump station.
Here is were we went.
Need to add some more Mt Rainier pictures: 22, 23 and 24
Deer in the snow.
