P.s didn't mean "haha" at you being snowed in! Hope alls good mate, somehow we've avoided that huge storm that is hitting everywhere we have been.
-
That's exactly it mate, listening to then sharing their knowledge, and interacting with them is what makes these kind of trips... Id love to go to New Zealand, that's certainly one for the future.

Haha! Mate, booked it this morning on a booking.com special, £135 for the night, got to front desk early, she said our room wasn't ready but could upgrade straightaway for 50 dollars...yeah OK, at least we can get ready and get out.. she had a little smile when she handed the keys and said " you're in the top floor suite"... lol... Might stay 2 nights now lol

Holy shit, just been given an upgrade to the top floor in the MGM signatures, 38th floor in a suite, the wife is in tears again lol

Only showed the native the big prints, the smaller ones were just to show Greyman as I was unsure if they could've been a smaller cat or like you say a dog of some type... The big ones were a bit different lol

Perhaps the most interesting thing for me was a tour we went on yesterday morning. The whole site is now owned by the Navajo Nation, they bought the land back for 9.3 billion dollars, so 150 years after losing their land they now own it, everyone who works there was Navajo, so our tour guide was a Navajo woman, as it was just me and my wife on the tour, we sat in the front of the truck for 2.5 hours and talked to this woman, every subject from history, religion, politics, nature, culture...it was fascinating, there are people still living in the valley with no electricity or running water, liv

Yesterday was really interesting.. we stayed in a hotel that is right in the Navajo Indian reservation, it started as a trading post in the 1920s owned by a white couple called Goulding. Harry Goulding and his Wife recognised the area in Monument Valley needed outside investment, so the drive to Hollywood in the 1930s and approached film director John Ford, eventually John Ford agreed to come out and look at the area. The rest is history, with Ford directing loads of films shot in Monument VallEY, with John Wayne starring in many. Other moteable films like Thelma and Louise, Back to the Future

@Greyman What do you think, we got to Monument Valley, Utah earlier, id driven a fair bit so went for a bit of a hike to loosen up... found these tracks above a canyon o walked, with scat beside... I know nothing about prints etc, but the print was bigger than my fist! Need your expert eye lol Found these smaller prints at the bottom of the canyon, the bigger ones were above

Nice one Paul, perfect little number for you mate.

We were in there for quite a while! Lol No roadkill snakes, pretty much everything else from. Skunks to coyotes though lol

Used to mess about playing 3 card brag after football, odd flutter on the horses... but im not really into gambling mate .lol.. will go into the big casinos for a look if we get there, may try to get lucky as it could mean staying another month lol

Not sure if you've been to Albuquerque mate, but i think you'd like it . Quite laid back for a big city, but a real old world feeling, lots of Mexican and Native American archives, old Soamish feel etc... the Old Town is history rich, really worth a walk around, a few too many "tat" shops, but loads of original indian work, had a good yap with an Indian who made jewelery, was from the Hopi tribe, explained to me the old battle with Spanish settlers that the Indians won and took.the horses, 1700s, this was the start of the indian horses they breed..

Thanks for the info Mack Yeah, that's kind of the outline plan, looking to get to Santa Criz and spend 5 days driving highway 1 down the Pacific coast... got to see Big Sur, so will need a few stops ..never know I might be able to cast a line in the Pacific and the Atlantoc on the same holiday...catching a fish in the Pacific would be the icing on the cake lol
-
Got to say its beem amazing mate, we've not planned anything really, wake up and head in a general direction and see where we land..was meant to be in Amirrilo last night, but got there and decided against it, we'd had a couple of warnings, and it looked....we'll not appealing lol... got back in the truck abd done another decent drive to Albuquerque, ended up staying here again tonight as we loved to old town today, much more native American and Mexican like...we booked a small bnb this morning, lovely little place all done out with Native American themes. We done a long drive yesterday,
