Oooh we’ve seen lots since our last update.  The Folks have been bundled in and out of the Dodge more times than they can count (and still its fun to watch mum trying to climb up into the truck!).  After leaving the Grand Canyon, with we might add a few more leg muscles after a 9 mile hike in the canyon, we have travelled old Route 66 and boy have we seen a few sights:

• Concrete dinosaurs along Route 66
• The Folks always finding strange people to chat to
• Miles and miles of vista views
• Craig’s favourite – Injun lands, teepees, hogans, dead things, ruins etc
• More visitor centres
• Slept in a Concrete wigwam complete with 60’s car parked outside
• Petrified forest and Painted Desert  -very pretty scenery
• We did Stand on the Corner in Winslow Arizona, with the flat bed ford for all you Eagles fans out there

Today has been a long drive taking in Canyon De Chelly, The Four Corners – oh yes we have stood simultaneously in four separate states (New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and Utah), very cool but right in the absolute middle of nowhere.  We are now at John Waynes old haunt in his movie days – so The Folks are grinning, as well as a rather spectacular view of Monument Valley to contend with we get to watch wall to wall movies with John Wayne in.  Mr Fogg has just grabbed the remote……no movies to night then, seems to now be broken!

Of course for the last few days we have been in non-alcoholic states – which means the back of the car is fully laden with a weeks supply of falling down water – you can imagine the fun we have had smuggling it into the rooms each night and the empties out the next morning.  The Folks are actually beating us at consumption too – the old soaks!

Next stop a tour of Monument Valley then we travel into new areas that Mr Fogg and I have not been to – oooh what fun, must be able to find more Visitor centres, dead things, old things, unjuns and the likes just for Mr Fogg’s enjoyment – or was that torture?
