The Mittens in Monument Valley
It has been a long day and I’m beat. I stopped to get three different Roadside America pictures, two of which made the cut. See below or on Instagram. The biggest item of the day was the above picture, the Mittens in Monument Valley. I stopped in and had to wrangle a single seat on a tour. I tried to reserve online, but there was zero options available for a single, it started at 2 and went up. I can sort of get the reason, its like a cruise ship, all there cabins are for two and these tour vehicles seat twelve. But what happens if you get a family of three?
Anyway, I did get on a tour and there was an empty seat beside me. I thought I was getting a 2-hour tour, but as it turned out it was a 2-1/2 hour tour, which in the end, ended up being 3 hours long. At the finish I was bounced, shaken, stirred, slightly sunburned, very wind blown with sand in my shoes and dirt in my nostrils. The guide was great, informative and entertaining. Because it is a guided tour we also got to go places and see things the peasant don’t on their $8 a head self-guided 2-hour loop.
Tomorrow I get to Santa Fe where I can wash some clothes and the dead bugs off the Miata.
