Traveling from Cortez, CO to Williams, AZ

We got an early start today because the weather forecast was for high winds. They were right – we had sustained winds of 25 – 30mph with occasional gusts of up to 50mph. It made the driving difficult at times and Mark was sure glad when we arrived at the campground. Despite the wind, the drive was very scenic. We did stop at the 4 Corners monument. We each stood in 4 states all at once. Looking at the pictures, our left foot was in Colorado and New Mexico and our right foot was in Utah and Arizona. The stop took all of 10 minutes since we had the place all to ourselves at 7:30am. We traveled through the Navajo Nation Indian Reservation, skirted the southern edge of Monument Valley, a portion of the Painted Desert, and then into several National Forests.
