Wednesday - Since it’s Wednesday, I started the day by sending a Winlink Wednesday email using HF radio as the transport. Much better performance here than back in Hondo. After breakfast, we headed for Monument Valley. On the way was Forest Gump Point. The location from the movie. Quite a few people were stopped to take their selfies. We stopped but no selfie.
We then continued on to Monument Valley. The entrance fee for the scenic drive was $45 ($15 for the car plus $10 for each person). Kind of pricey. The view from the visitors center was pretty phenomenal.
There were numerous turnouts for the named formations. It was a pretty rough road and there was a stop from a Corolla buried to the frame. The sign did say no cars allowed but, obviously, it was not enforced. An overlander type pulled them out of the sand backwards to a viewpoint. They had the road blocked for about 30 minutes.
After stopping a couple more times, we had lunch in Mexican Hat. I had a Navajo Taco. Not the best one but tasty enough.
We then headed to Gooseneck State Park. There were several of these formations and the river was a bit over 1000’ below the viewpoint.
