Day off. Wrapping up the Ashbaker clan's grand tour of the Southwest. Next stop on the way home is Monument Valley and Gump hill. Maybe we'll get to see the burros (correction, donkeys.) crossing towards the San Juan river again like they did yesterday evening. That was definitely something you don't see everyday..
AM2-Ran the loop road in Monument Valley and dog eared back and forth while the family stopped and took photos. The weather was just perfect with low clouds and a cool breeze. Breathtaking and cathartic to say the least. 12 miles total.
Stopped at the Burger King in Kayenta and viewed the exhibit honoring the Navajo Code Talkers. One of the most interesting stories was that of the woman who received captured Japanese battle flags and after laundering them was reported by her neighbors as being a spy.
