Oljato Monument Valley
From this viewpoint it looked calm and sunny, but down in the Monument Valley a blasting sand storm was forcing cars and RVs to find shelter up here in this little cove.

Can you imagine . . . ?
Driving through the Western States and Monument Valley, it is hard to imagine how anybody could survive the hardships traveling in a stage coach through this harsh and rugged county-side. Just considering the lack of water and the heat or cold in the desert creates a big question mark in my mind. How was it possible?

Moment of Relaxation
On the desert floor in Monument Valley a very strong sand storm was shaking our RV threatening to peel off the paint or the awning. After looking for a quiet cove to sit out the storm, this is what we found.
