July 14th Break-up day as we today would continue to Grand Canyon. Business as usual as Tine and Paul went down for breakfast while the children slept late, can't really blame them - not very exciting. Got packed and ready and soon we were heading southwest towards the Four Corners, Navajo National Park to make a fool of ourselves by putting one foot in Utah, another in Arizona, one hand in Colorado and the other one in New Mexico. Totally ridiculous taking into consideration that all of this belonged to the Indians a long time ago and is now a reservation [View Full Entry]

The sun spins wide round and round Cross boulder and mountainside every day bringing new light new thoughts, new images as we ride A symphony of reds and browns surrounds me. The earth alive dripping from a tiny fracture in the bare stone splatters about Giving the plants insects and animals their fix. Earth's honey. Some traveling wisdom from Whitman: Traveling Souls Allons! Whoever you are come travel with me! Traveling with me you find what never tires. The earth never tires, The earth rude, silent, incomprehensible at first, Nature is rude [View Full Entry]

Magnifique journee dans l'Arizona, decor a perte de vue... indescriptible.passage dans une reserve "seche" (pas de vente de biere) mais la chance etait avec nous: un jeune indien nous a invite chez lui . Tres belle rencontre avec sa jeune femme dans leur maison typique dans le plus vieux village Hopi de l'Amerique du Nord. Le Nouveau-Mexique etait tres contraste avec le Texas: beaucoup de betails, mais pas beaucoup de cowboys. What a day we had in New Mexico and Arizona! Where to start?... How about where we finished: in the small village of Kikotsmovi, Arizona, the oldest settlement accord [View Full Entry]

I consider it a real honor, and very humbling experience, to be asked to assist my brother Sonny in conducting a meeting in Monument Valley, in the Navajo (Dineh) Nation. I drove from home to Oklahoma, to meetup with Sonny & his wife, Janet, & then rode on out to New Mexico, Arizona, & Utah with them. On the way south, I hit severe thunderstorms and had to dodge tornados. Dineh country is beautiful and unique and the people there always treat us real good when we go there. Sonny was invited out to conduct a Father's Day meeting for [View Full Entry]

Hello all. Our past few weeks have included time in California, where we camped in Malibu while Andy went to rehearsals and recording sessions for "Woody Sez," a sumptuous passover seder at Paul and Jacki's in La Jolla, and magical boating and hiking in Joshua Tree (CA) the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell (AZ), Zion Canyon and Bryce Canyon(UT). Matzah never tasted so good as it does after a good long backpack into a canyon. We are now on the Navajo reservation, and will be driving into Hopi villages today. Max has just given us a presentation on the Native American Cliff-Dwellers, [View Full Entry]

Hay varios tipos de carreteras. Primero están las Interstate, o sea, las autopistas con mayúsculas, cinco carriles por sentido, numerosas áreas de descanso, etc. Luego tenemos las de primera, que son carreteras convencionales, y que en España algunas de ellas serían consideradas autovías. Las secundarias y las locales son normalmente de un carril por sentido y suelen enlazar poblaciones distantes y de pocos habitantes. Y por fin llegamos a las “dirty roads”. Éstas últimas no suelen salir en los mapas, son consideradas no recomendables y si aparecen en alguna cartografía siempre lo [View Full Entry]

We woke up the morning in Page to a bitterly cold wind and all the leaves on the trees in the campground had fallen overnight. Page marked our entrance into the Navajo Nation - the largest Native American reservation in the US covering an area stretching from the Grand Canyon to over the border in New Mexico and Glen Canyon to Petrified Forest National Park. We set out on an Antelope Canyon Tour that morning with a Navajo guide and just the two of us. The trip took about 1.5 hours as we slowly made our way through the canyon with [View Full Entry]

Road Runner’s Move Over After visiting with family and the final drive through the valley, it is once again time to pack up and move out. This park was small, so we needed to off load the car and then disconnect the trailer so we now needed to reverse this process before we could pull out. Everything done we pull onto the Venture free way heading towards Pasadena and pick up the 10 freeway. This drive will take us through Pasadena, Irwindale, Azuza, Pomona and down the line heading towards the Arizona border. You pass through Eagle Rock and until now [View Full Entry]

March 21 - April 2, 2006 Palm Springs, Calif. - Canyon de Chelly, Ariz. Mile 3,834 On our trek into the southwest—destination Canyon de Chelly—we’ve been offered several different pronunciations of the famous Anasazi dwelling place. Upon arrival in the Navajo Nation, we received the definitive answer: it’s not Canyon de Shelly, but d’Shay, as in the French. I was a bit disappointed! Jeff and I began this chapter in California’s contradictory Coachella Valley, a seemingly arid desert in which thrives Palm Springs, with [View Full Entry]
