In Monument Valley, Az/Ut

The otherwise unnecessarily large Ford Explorer SUV earned its keep exploring Monument Valley. The Valley is familiar to fans of John Ford Westerns, most notably Stagecoach. But exploring it on the ground rather than on the screen is a wonderful experience - monumental indeed. Worth the long day's driving to get from Albuquerque NM to the Valley, the very bumpy trail around the Valley, then on to Page Az. Sleep now. Lake Powell and Las Vegas tomorrow!
