The Journey Continues or Life in the Navajo Nation

This was us at the turn around point of our hike into the Grand Canyon. We made it to the first outhouse just ahead of about 30 Boy Scouts from Buffalo, New York.
Hance Canyon - named for John Hance. He was an ancestor of yours on the Sage side and the first White man to establish a residence at the rim of the GC. He was a famous story teller who was given to tall tales and made a good living leading tours. Nowdays, a Ranger dresses up as John Hance and entertains visitors to the park.
This Condor is more handsome than the one we saw gliding over Hance Canyon but they have a wingspan of about 9 feet.
How is this for a camp site? Our view is pretty impressive. We hiked the trails that start in our little RV park.
Here we are at the overlook before we dropped into Monument Valley. I took pictures like I was on a Mississippi riverboat. Lucky for you I am only sending the one. The two mittens and the other mesa are each a mile apart and over 1000 feet high. We are headed for Moab for the rest of the week and next weekend.
