Today I went to Monument Valley and while it was beautiful I must say I was disappointed. First of all due to deep sand it is not recommended that motorcycles drive the 17 mile scenic drive. I tried and had to turn around not only due to the sand, but a water truck had just wet the sand to keep the dust down. The result was like trying to ride on the beach. I almost dropped the bike twice and decided to turn around. I did get a few pictures, though.
I still had some time so I decided to ride over to the Four Corners Monument. I had been there two years earlier but it was closed for "maintenance". I have since learned that the marker was misplaced by more than one hundred feet. Again I was disappointed. The "monument" is surrounded by what is basically a tribal flea market. Navajos selling jewelry and souvenirs.
Oh well, tomorrow I will head north towards Idaho.
