"Standin' on the corner in Winslow, Arizona..."

We made it to Winslow tonight just as it was getting dark...good planning and a long day of 300 miles in the RV and another 50 or so in the car visiting the "Canyon de Chelly (rhymes with 'play')National Monument" in Chinle, AZ.  Not sure why we had skipped visiting there in the past, but it is a beautiful place!  The canyon was inhabited by Indians thousands of years ago and there are still some that live, work and farm there now...holding on to their ancient culture.  We had to park the RV in a campground and then take the car on the canyon rim drive.  Seeing the natives farming at the bottom really put the whole view into perspective.  After visiting the canyon we made our way to Winslow and put $276 worth of fuel in the tank and are being hosted by WallyWorld tonight.  On to Palm Creek tomorrow.
