Monument Valley

We were truly in John Wayne country today.     This is where Stagecoach was filmed, along with over 100 other films.

In the 1950's this became a Navajo Nation Park and remains so today.    It is certainly done on a much smaller scale than our National Parks, but it is very well run.

This first photo is a classic shot of the "Mittens".







The sky varied a lot today.     We could have almost total blue skies, or heavily overcast.    The wind was with us all day, though.









There weren't many flowers, but these were very healthy.






This location really reminds me of many old westerns.
