With the last USA trip post we were just starting to head from Santa Rosa into Northern New Mexico heading for Santa Fe. As it turned out,and I didn't realise it at the time,this was the original way that Route 66 took.
 |
| We came from this direction and already quite a way up in New Mexico having passed Santa Fe. |
 |
| Maybe Heinrich Himmler didn't commit suicide afterall ? |
 |
| This group of students were Geology students on a field trip from a Alabama University. |
 |
| We were heading in this direction Further on, we did go through hilly,green forested area which I believe was possibly a Apache Indian Reservation land....... ....well we stopped for a coffee and the place was owned by Native Americans |
 |
| By this time it was early evening and we were in Colorado. At one point on this road I had been thinking to myself how mild it still felt,but minutes later it was almost as though somebody had opened a fridge door and I was bloody freezin' |
 |
| Our Motel for the night in Cortez,Colorado which was ran and owned by a German lady and her 'Great Dane' .....I mean the breed of dog and not a huge fella from Denmark. |
 |
| The next day and heading for Monument Valley. I think this sign was just after the 'Four Corners' Monument where the four States of Arizona, Utah,Colorado and New Mexico meet. |
 |
| The main road that takes you to the those most famous of Rock formations and also into Utah. |
 |
| If you like 'remote' then this could be the place for you. Better make a list when you go shopping as you wouldn't want to forget anything eh ! |
 |
| This is actually a day later as we'd stayed in place called Page near the North rim of the Grand Canyon the night before. It had actually meant that we went quite a few miles out of our way, but seemed the best option at the time. This is that next morning and on our way to the South Rim |
 |
| The road that takes you to the South Rim Visitor centre and luckily, for me, there was a petrol station there too..............rather bizarrely ! |
Hey John, just looked at Sideburn's blog and they advertise the Deus Ex Machine Saturday School "An Education In Motorcycling". Sideburn think it's a great idea....?! It tells me all I need to know about the currant bike scene. On a different note...I thought all those old nazi gits had buggered off to South America, but no....there's one alive and well in New Mexico!
