About Us

United Kingdom
Couple of retirees who really enjoy travel - particularly roadtrips to the deserts and prairies. We suspect we must be nomads as characterised by Richard Grant as RV resident retiree nomads in his book "Ghost Riders"

Day 22 - Goosenecks, Mittens, and Corners





Started the day with a car wash and then got under way. Headed SW from Blanding and visited Goosenecks State Park (see photo 1 and video) - 1,000ft. deep chasm eroded by the San Juan River, big meanders(www.utah.com/stateparks.goosenecks.htm). We then proceeded into Arizona and Monument Valley, see photo 2 'The Mittens'. Didn't do the scenic drive here - very dusty. We then made our way East along very long, very straight roads, making a small detour to the Four State Corners Monument - Clive obliged and put his limbs in all four states at once, see photo 3. It's almost obligatory! We carried on into New Mexico and are staying overnight at Farmington, where Clive is hoping that he can get a beer (in Utah and the Navajo Nation it wasn't easy).
