Awoke to 64 degrees and what else, but rain. We have 142 miles to go today. We ate breakfast, took a few pictures with our new friends, and hit the road.
lesson learned: never wear flip flops and white shorts when it's rained in red clay.
Interesting sights along the way: Mexican Hat, Utah. Couldn't quite grasp the significance even with all my college degrees........but then Nick explained it and I had a major aha moment! It was a huge rock with a smaller round rock sitting beneath it. If you turned it upside down in your mind, it looks like s sombrero!
San Juan Inn- a small hotel built into the mountain with a river flowing through it.
Lunch was at the Twin Rocks cafe in Bluff Utah. It was named after a pair of identical rocks that are sitting in the mountain. Nick ate stew and Navajo fry bread. He said it was delicious and would recommend the cafe.
Most interesting combination seen today: Indian Arts and Crafts and Espresso
Highest peak of the day....7200 feet. We can almost reach the clouds.
As we continued our drive, the terrain began to take on a different look. We were in Monticello, Utah and the red clay disappeared and there was grass and lots of trees. The mountains looked like waves had lapped at them for centuries and there were variations in the colors. They also took on a rounded form.
