9/20 Big Horn sheep and Big Monuments

The next morning we hiked back to the South Rim. Half way up, we rounded a corner and startled a big horn sheep on the trail. It stood about 10’ in front of me then moved about 20’ up a slope and stopped again before bolting away.

We left the park and headed east to Monument Valley. We made it by early evening and a spectacular sunset. Wow! We then headed on to the town of Mexican Hat to find a place to camp. We ended up camping in the parking lot of a lodge in the middle of nowhere. It had a in a bar with a dirt floor and tourists from around the world. They cooked the steaks on a swinging grill over a large wood fire. Need to crash now and I promise to say less tomorrow. Not a lot of cell service or internet out here. I will check in as soon as I can. Cheers.
