Not much to say about today. Kevin took the truck back to Cortez to have the bed cover installed (per our negotiations – we told them we wanted a bed cover – we got it). His other mission was to go to their Wal-Mart to get groceries, etc. Believe it or not, the Wally World in Cortez, CO is the closest one – 2 hours away. The next closest one is in Flagstaff, AZ – 3 hours away. I learned this from the young lady that was running the KOA office.
While Kevin was gone, Nikki and I did our laundry and
cleaned “house”. That’s about it for
now. Kevin is talking about taking
another nap, so I’m not sure if we will do anything more today or not.
Drove to Kayenta to get cell service. Not much else going on, yet.
It's sunset and we are on our way to Valley of the Gods with camera equipment in tow to shoot stars. We found 2 spots to photograph from. The 2nd spot ended with us scurrying to get back into the truck, lock the doors, and get the heck out of dodge! I noticed a light some distance up the road, flashlight. It would stay on for about 10 seconds, then go off. I pointed this out to Kevin, who did not see the light. Several minutes later I see the flashlight again, only this time much closer and in the scrub brush. I got Kevin's attention. This time he saw it and saw the light go out. He said "Let's get out of here!" The person was on my side of the truck and all I could envision was him/her rushing me before I could get int the truck and lock and the and hacking me to pieces with an ax (yes, vivid imagination). I think that was the fastest time we made putting all equipment in the truck and getting in ourselves. It was very spooky. Why would a person walk down the road in the dark, then go into the desert scrub, to sneak up on 2 unsuspecting people? I'm not ashamed to admit I was very afraid!
I discovered some more dirt roads on the map that are on top of a mountain. We are going to ride them, hope they are good roads!
Here is the only decent star shot I got with some of the rock formations silhouetted.
