Friday

We left Cortez this morning to drive to Mesa Verde Indian cliff dwellings. When we arrived at the front gate there was a big sign "expect delays, road construction, gravel road 10 miles" I said no way, had enough of road construction. We turned around and headed for the "Four Corners". When we arrived there we learned that the actual monument was under construction also. I took a picture of it thru the construction fence. When we returned to the car there was a family looking at it, the kid ask if he could take a picture, so I asked "why don't you get in and let the folks take your picture" He was thrilled,cool to see little kids liking hot rods.
We drove on to Monument Valley, neat sight, and onto Kayenta, AZ. I called ahead to Marble Canyon for rooms...all booked! The next town was Tuba City, there we got a nice room in a month old hotel, The Legacy. We spent the afternoon in the pool and hot tub. Very easy day.
In the morning we will head for Grand Canyon, Zion Nat'l Park, and then spend the night in Mesquite, NV at the casino.
