Click above for our weather. We have been in Kayenta, AZ since last Wednesday. Blew a hose on Turbo on the Ford diesel about 20 miles out of Kayenta and limped on in here. Unhooked trailer behind Burger King where many semi trucks and RV's spend nights, and went to recommended local Navaho mechanic. He spotted the leak (I hadn't figured out what was causing the black smoke pouring out of the exhaust, the really bad fuel milage, and the fact that couldn't pull the trailer (in real strong winds) over 30 mph. Got lined up with a local NAPA dealer to have it sent from Phoenix -- promised it would be on the way Thursday and here via FEDEX on Friday. Didn't show.............gal at NAPA called and first was told she hadn't ordered it, then they found the order, but said their "picker" had failed to pick it from the stock and put it on Fedex. Since it was Friday they would ship it then, but won't get here until Monday at 4:30 pm.
So, we are laying back. We did drive (without trailer) up Monument Valley and spend time looking at all the spots where many Western Movies have been shot since the 1930's. It straddles the Utah/Arizona border. We also had spent time (before the "pop" of the turbo line) at Four Corners, visiting with the Pueblo/Navajo vendors. Phyllis did get some more stuff.
I will try to get the photos together on Picasa and put them on the Web and tie them in to here soon.
Later, Lynn
