cedar city ut
visited the jeddito navajo clave in hopiland
all set within greater navajoland
& found this little pocket affluent both by hopi & normal navajo standards
but all of the above were like us absolutely unconcerned about the hour of day
our first camping & loitering bust was by a hopi cop wearing an american flag emblem
just when our 305k mile engine failed to climb first mesa
when he told us we were next to a shrine
we first noticed the anasazi ruin across the road
& we were glad when he suggested we spend the night as the guests of the tribe
under the tree in second mesa
so a recognizable theme has developed
finding & scrambling over the low mountain passes
this is good tho
as we have seen all the high ones
& the low ones are generally the most historic
funny how mishaps may always improve things
a warm & timely wecome to dallen our new arizona member too
even as we are headed north for the heat wave
& grant
you are not plowing alone out there at 200nm
& tho i know there is no lack of kibbitzers
i must say isla san andres really is there
another island that once saved my life
& special to brian
are you sure the 1849 demdpa rock doesnt say mdp on the disc or somewhere
cause thats the one i was inspired to pee on
i didnt realize the true mdp stone was even there til much later
