Indians Everywhere...
... hot, dry, windy and dusty so we peeled out of there after a little bit and drove the last 75 miles of the day to Tuba City, Arizona. I was pulling up Priceline as we came into the "city" which was bigger than many of the places we've been through, ...

Tuba City Day 2
I woke up early and waited for the sunrise. I love the desert for many things. But perhaps the greatest is when the sun rises and sets. How spectacular the rocks glow, how magic the sky appears, how the early the light appears before the sun comes up and ...
Tuba City Day 3
My last half day in Tuba City. First, about the name. The town has nothing to do with the musical instrument of the same name. No big band leader marched across the desert and decided to stop in what he considered Tuba holy land. There is no rock ...

Tuba City
Rather than wild camp we decided to cycle to Tuba City, which isn't very far away, and then have a 70 mile day tomorrow. There's nothing in-between and, having looked at Google Street View, it's not great for wild camping. We got to Tuba City at about ...
Monument Valley
... rots rots" kijk mij nou staan! Dat bedoel ik dus, MELIG!!!! Daarna doorgereden door een redelijk saai, dor gebied, naar Moenkopi (Tuba City), een heel mooi modern hotel (pas nieuw), maar ook in een troosteloze omgeving. Toen wij aan kwamen rijden zagen ...
Grand Canyon

At Last
... had a few vacant rooms left, so we took one. This Quality Inn was interesting because it had Navajo paintings in the halls, because Tuba City is mainly Navajo Native American people. It was the next morning when we figured out why we got in for free in ...

Snow at the Canyon

Cameron, I almost get stuck - the first time
... that fast that I use too much gas, I drive back carefully and with a bumping heart. Attention, the computer says again, only 25 miles left. Attention, only 10 miles left. But then there is rescue: a gas station at the cross-way to Tuba City. Relief. ...
Navajo National Monument and Monument Valley
Navajo NM is oddly named as it preserves a small set of Puebloan, not Navajo, ruins occupied by perhaps 130 persons over a period of just 30 years (about 1270 to 1300). We intended a shot stop to view the ruins from a convenient overlook , and as a break ...
