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 23 - Canyon de Chelly

Last night (Thursday) we left our motel and went across the road to the bar at the Best Western - it was a good night, we had crabcakes and a few drinks, the place was very lively and there was a karaoke on, some good singers too. We also took part in the tv quiz in the bar, didn't do too badly but were snookered when it came to questions about US tv programmes and personalities. We eventuallyleft at kicking out time!
We left Farmington Friday morning after a quiet breakfast (both with sore heads I think) and headed South on the 666 according to our map (this road has a different number now), and then West to Canyon de Chelly. Photo 1 shows ancient (somewhat reconstructed) pueblo dwellings (Mummy Cave Ruins). The video shows Spider Rock Overlook. What you can't see is the campsite near the base of the stack, even we couldn't see the people until Clive looked through his camera zoom. Ended up in Gallup for the night, away from the railway but still within hearing of the all-night whistles!
