Monument Valley – Wednesday September 14, 2011

We are at Monument Valley today.

We usually camp the Navajo visitor’s center on the edge of the valley.  However, the weather is calling for continued afternoon and night time thunder shows.  I am concerned that open area will turn into mud and we could get stuck so we are staying in the Goulding RV park.
At 5:30 a thunder shower did come through, looking at a few of the pictures I took I think we did the right thing.
This is the water running off the awning after only a couple of minutes.
Water just starting to run under the motor home, at the height of the rain is was a sheet of water running under the whole motor home.

This is the water running down the road, think it was 3-4 inches deep.

We are on a hill side so all the water has run off, at 6:15 it look dry enough to go out and grill some steaks.     Be home in a couple of days.  Harry, Jean and Hank

Homolovi State Park, Winslow, AZ – Tuesday September 13, 2011

Campsite Homolovi State Park at Winslow, AZ.  Yes that is large thunder storm to the right in the picture.

We went to Meteor Crater on Hwy 40 just west of Winslow Az.  It is actually really cool place, got there at 9:00 a.m. and left at 1:00.  Took a bunch of pictures, will have to stitch 3 together to do a whole picture of the crater.

We’ve had several thunder storms move over tonight, lost power twice but it seems to be staying on now.   Will move to Monument Valley tomorrow and then someplace north of Moab, Utah for Thursday night.  Friday morning starts the drive home.

We made it to Canyon DeChelly National monument a 5:25 pm, we pulled out of the state park at 6:00 am.  Stopped at Walmart in Page, went up to the 4 corners of Colorado, Utah, Arizona & New Mexico and then turned south to DeChelly, 378 miles for the day.

The campsite picture is at DeChelly.  I may add more pictures when I can get directly online.
