Back to life and off the Navajo Reservation

I am back at work after flying into Baltimore last week from Arizona. There was limited (if the hamster was working) internet some places we stood on and near the Navajo Reservation. Grand Canyon was the least nice place we ended up going…

We (my lovely wife and I) went to …..Flagstaff, Grand Canyon, Lowell Observatory, Sunset Crater, Wupatki National Monument, Cameron Trading Post, Tuba City, Tuba City Trading Post, Explore Navajo Museum, Navajo National Monument, Kanyeta, Monument Valley, Goulding’s Hotel (Where John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and John Ford slept,) Goosenecks State Park (UT), Valley of the Gods(UT), Blanding, Utah, Edge of the Cedars (UT) State Park, Four Corners, Canyon de Chelly (one evening and one morning,) Hubbell’s Trading Post, Painted Desert, Petrified Forest, Flagstaff, Walnut Canyon National Monument, Montezuma’s Castle National Monument, and Sedona.

Two pictures from the trip……..

Yesterday we went to Grand Canyon. not The Grand Canyon, but Grand Canyon. Wow……

Some pictures of our trip to and from Grand Canyon.  Tomorrow we head into Navajo and Hopi country.

First this munchkin/hobbit sized chapel on US 180 elev. 8,000 ft.

Then the two”Yes I was there, it is amazing and it is a big drop pictures.  The first on is at Kolb Studio in the Main Grand Canyon Village.  The dark line behind my head is the Bright Angel Trail where the mules go into the canyon.  The last picture is at Hopi Point.  And yes that boulder stood between me and a 2,000 foot drop.

Greetings from 7,000 feet!!

This blog has been quiet for the last few days in preparation for our annual HCPL Staff Day.   We did a summation (but not final thing..if you haven’t finished you still have time!) of the program.  There was a slide show of blogs for the completers, congrats to all who ran the tech fair, and a prize drawing with three items presented to staff.   I was lucky enough to win one..*the Wii* don’t you know.

After staff day, my wife and I took off for the somewhat large hole in Arizona.   Not familar with it?  Here is a picture:

We are staying in Flagstaff for a couple of days, and did you know that Flagstaff is on top of an inactive– I hope and pray–  volcano.    I will check in and post pictures if I get a chance.
