So sorry for not updating my blog, it's been several days since I've had a long block of time at a computer. I was away for long because we have been road tripping since August 29th
Our first stop was Monument Valley. We left Taos around 11am, and drove through Abiquiu, Farmington, Shiprock, and on our way to Kayenta, the small town outside of Monument Valley.
We arrived around 6pm local time, and immediately set up our campsite.
Our adventures began on the 30th, when we went to Monument Valley itself and drove through the rock formations on a very windy and bumpy dirt road. I loved being able to look through our sunroof and watch the rock formations tower far above us.
After we finished our two hour drive, we went to the Navajo Code Talkers museum up on the hill. It was incredible to look at the exact wording that was used in both WWI and WWII to stop our enemies in their tracks in terms of intercepting our communications. What was really cool is how they posted the translations between Navajo and English, so that we could understand how difficult it actually was to crack the code.
When we were done with the museum, we drove 5 hours to Springdale, Utah, where our next adventure began (in the next post).
Here are some pictures.
