Blanding, UT - Canyonlands Mini update

Looking for internet access to upload pics and updates, but for now:
Since dropping Cammie off and picking up Baron von Toj we've hit the Hoover Dam - Again. It was a dam site better with Cam though. Next, getting our kicks on Rt 66 we met the defender of our nations railroads at a roadside watering hole.
Stopped for the night on the South Rim of the conundrum and next day hiked down the canyon and overnighted in Indian Grove, just above the Colorado. Hiked 6 miles and dropped 3100' in elevation. Can't wait to upload the snaps. Toj narrowly escaped a rattler.
Drove to Monument Valley - changed itinerary in mid-stream missing out on Canyon DeShelly - and had a look around. Very spectacular sites. Stayed last night in Mexican Hat at a neat little hotel. We camped in the parking lot and whetted our whistles at the canteen attached. Besides the wait staff we were the only Americans. Where did all the foreigners come from - What's happened to homeland security?
Heading to Silverton/Durango area, but before getting there we had a brief, but intense, moment when the car overheated. It happened during a 3 mile 10 degree switchback trail. But after 20 minutes and 3 candles - prayers - later we were back on the road.
Toj is missing Susan and I'm sending kisses to Cam.
