After a night with at least two different thunderstorms having rolled through and visions of flash floods ripping through our camp, I was up before sunrise. It was a beautiful, if muddy, morning<\/p>\n

\"p1000843\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After a quick coffee, we tried to avoid the mud as much as possible and headed out. The morning after the storm is splendid.<\/p>\n

\"p1000846\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We stopped at the Twin Rocks Cafe<\/a> in Bluff, UT for breakfast. \u00a0I had the blue corn pancakes and eggs special.\u00a0So much yum!<\/p>\n

\"p1000853\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the route, I saw rocks that look like a whale. (at least I think so \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n

\"p1000854\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We arrived at Canyon De Chelly National Monument and found a spot in the campground for our two rigs. We left mine, loaded the dogs into his truck, and went to see the sights.<\/p>\n

Yikes!<\/p>\n

\"p1000855\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"p1000862\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"p1000870\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is all Reservation land and there are working farms down there.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"p1000876\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I couldn’t see the ruins with my eyes, but Bob pointed out where he thought they were and I zoomed in with my camera. The lens saw what I couldn’t! Wow!<\/p>\n

\"p1000887\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"p1000888\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pugsly enjoys getting out and clambering around, but she’s old and can only do so much, so I carried her when we headed back. She was liking this walk though – see how curly her tail is? That’s my barometer.<\/p>\n
