Up and breakfast. Everyone in the hotel breakfast room was a Native American bar us. Fed and Coffee'd we headed a mile or so up the road to see the Window Rock after which the town was named.
At its base was the Navajo Code Talkers Statue. The Code Talkers where Navajo Marines, whose language was used as a unique and cryptic tactical communications code in battle.
Into Ganado, and into the Hubbell Trading Post. You can things from a tin of spam to a $450 Navajo Rug. We bought a small pot of ointment good for aches and paints which we'll rub on Jane's elbow.
Onto I-95 North towards Kayenta. We could see Monument Valley in the distance. Then there was the great plan to travel thirty miles West to go and a town called Pinon. We'd seen Pinon Coffee advertised in a few places, but didn't know anything about the town. To be honest the fact that every single sign on the way was covered in so much graffiti that you couldn't read it should have been a warning. We ploughed on. Getting there we pulled into the parking lot, looking around - looked at each other - turned the car around and started to make the thirty mile journey back to where we'd come from.
We got to our hotel which is about twenty miles from Monument Valley which we'll hit first thing tomorrow.
