Sunday morning the sun was shining as we headed out of Monument Valley. We were headed to Camp Verde AZ. It was extremely cold and the roads were covered with patchy ice, so the morning drive was done very carefully. At one point, near Kayenta, AZ, we saw a sign that said Inscription House so we decided to travel the red dirt road to see what this was all about. After many muddy, wet, snow covered miles there was no sign of anything except snow and high desert as far as you could see. So, we turned around and headed back toward the paved highway
covered in red mud. (We found out later that Inscription House was closed at the present time, so we know it is out there somewhere, we just didn’t find it.) In Tuba City we ate at a wonderful restaurant called The Hogan. They served both traditional and non-traditional native food. I ordered the chili beans and fry bread and the young waiter said, “Oh, old school.” Thom ordered the roast beef and fry bread sandwich and the waiter said, “Oh, new school.” I think we all three got a kick out of that.
As we continued our journey, we got closer to Flagstaff where there was about a foot of snow on the ground. To be quite honest, I was glad to be heading farther south. The ride was very scenic and enjoyable. I believe some
of that had to do with the fact that we were leaving the cold and snow and headed for better weather. I have nothing against the snow; however, at this moment in time, I need a respite from the weather!
