We are back home in Bend now, trying to get caught up on mail, taxes, etc! When we left Wickenburg, we headed for northeast Arizona and Monument Valley. Since the back roads are closed to private vehicles, and we wanted to see as much as possible, we took a tour with a Navajo guide. We visited a Hogan with a Navajo lady demonstrating rug weaving. When we started out, we were concerned about blowing dust, but before we knew it, we were fighting blowing snow!!! We were sitting in the back of a pick-up truck outfitted with bench seats, but not much in the way of protection from the weather. Once it began to snow hard, visibility was next to zero, and he cut the tour short to get us back. It is another beautiful part of Arizona (and Utah). Arizona is a very diverse state where you can go from desert cactus to ponderosa pines in under one hour.
We had a wonderful stay and will return to sunny Arizona next winter!
