Page, Az to Monument Valley, Utah.....5th Oct

A double whammy....I thought you all might be having water-tower withdrawals and there's more to come !!
On the move today, a short drive on quiet roads, 150 miles up to Monument Valley....
Water-towers and a train what more can a girl want.....this railroad is unusual as it's electric but then again it's moving coal from the Black Mesa 65 miles to the power station at Lake Powell....
I did warn you there would be more water-towers....I can hear you yawning......
Our first glimpse of the majestic Monument Valley area....

Sunset reflecting from the rocks at our campsite at Gouldings Trading Post, Monument Valley....
A good drive here......we've booked an 8 hour guided tour for tomorrow....7am alarm call :)

  1. Well, an abundance of water towers! Look out for John wayne in Monument Valley, he always was my hero. Blackmoor AGM on Friday, Bill Andrews stepping down and Derek Williams taking on President role. Take care you two.
