Re: My remote camp trip near Monument Valley

Re: My remote camp trip near Monument Valley
Thanks. What was different for me, was stopping so much to begin with. How many times in my life have I zoomed through here, wishing I could. I actually didn't walk much, getting too lazy. I used to be a gonzo mountain biker, and recently able to do fairly long hikes.

Re: My remote camp trip near Monument Valley
If a machine can have a soul or spirit, Blue Cloud was happy to get out. And thanks for the comment (including everyone else).

Re: My remote camp trip near Monument Valley
Question: What is your model/make of your tool box? Might you have a link? I didn't think you could get a toolbox with the in-bed spare tire! Love to have the width of it (since perhaps with my Rally Wheel it wouldn't fit).
Thanks! ![]()

Re: My remote camp trip near Monument Valley
I hope the hodgepodge of photos out of order isn't too annoying. This is Muley Point, end of the road. Thought of doing some rock crawling, but slapped myself.
![]() ![]() Nice sunset, over Monument Valley. ![]() ![]() Leaving in the morning. ![]() Made sure it was in gear and parking brake was engaged. ![]() ![]() I went back down Moki Dugway, this is the Flat Earth view. ![]() ![]() The washboard made it fun. ![]() After gassing up in Bluff for $3.799/gal., this is the top of Comb Ridge. ![]() Cool camp spot on a knoll, if it wasn't blowing a gale like it was. ![]() ![]() ![]() The other end of that road comes to this highway. ![]() Checked out Butler Wash Ruins, then came back to the valley and continued just a little ways north, then turned around. ![]() ![]() You can see that cut beyond. ![]() I have a few more pictures, so I'll be back!

Re: My remote camp trip near Monument Valley
What great campsite over Monument Valley. I wondered about wind but I guess you lucked out. Boy, to think you have to go places like this just to get away from people offering to buy your truck

Re: My remote camp trip near Monument Valley
Hey Kurt, thanks for the inspiration! We’ve had Covid in our house for a little over a week now… luckily no major symptoms at all but we’ve been in various stages of “quarantine”. We decided to take a road trip today and get some fresh air and vitamin D! Our Yukon isn’t a cool as your truck but it was a great trip none the less. We went to goosenecks and had a picnic style lunch before heading up Moki Dugway…

Re: My remote camp trip near Monument Valley
All good if you're tired of posting pictures. But if you're not, we'll keep lookin' at 'em. Like a giant playground. I particularly like the one where there's a little blue truck in the middle.
