We were torn - wanting to help in the tornado stricken areas, yet not wanting to be one that needed help with the new storms brewing - we decided to take the northern route to Michigan.
Loaded with a u-haul trailer and a back full of "stuff" - we headed north.
Our first stop after lunch (which was a couple miles from home) was Montezuma's Castle. Quinn is very much into Minecraft these days, virtually building amazing structures online -- the consideration of seeing an ancient cliff dwelling was extremely appealing. The dwellings did not disappoint.
As we headed further north, we made the choice to land in Durango for the night -- we pushed forward through the Navajo Nation. The wild horses were abundant - we saw over 150 wild horses grazing and running through the open areas in the Navajo Nation.
We stopped in Kayenta to get gas and a bite to eat. One of the hotels had a copy of an old cover wagon -- we could not resist a quick snapshot
Our one sad moment was as we were getting gas a pack of 6 dogs came up to us -- the friendliest dogs you have ever seen. They were hungry and wanted attention. We had a couple of leftovers that we tossed to them and convinced them that 8 of us could not fit in my car. Hated leaving them behind.
We got to Durango late and fell into bed, dead tired. Tomorrow we head up into the Rockies.
