Mike's Long Day at Work

Yesterday Mike went down to Moab for work. After being there a little bit, he got the call that a car that had been impounded in Tuba City, AZ for the past 3 months was finally released. So he drove another 4 hours down there to get it. He was gone ALL day and managed to drive (round trip) 875 miles or the equivilent of driving from our house to San Fransisco + 90 miles! It's a good thing that he likes driving and exploring or it would have been a very rough day at the office. It didn't hurt that he had his iPod with him to plug into the car and enjoy his music without complaints from from Eryn to turn on Taylor Swift! He hade to drive straight through a lot of places and didn't get to stop as often as he would have liked along the way to take pictures, but he managed a few while he was down there. It is pretty clear why we fight over who gets the camera from time to time. : )

We are planning to take a day together down there and we'll spend some more time seeing the sights!


Monument Valley

This picture made me jealous that I didn't get to go on his road trip with him!

This rock below is called El Capitan (Agathla in Navajo) and lies between Monument Valley and Kayenta, AZ. It is a volcanic rock related to Shiprock in NM.
