At the drop of a hat, I’ll go anywhere, even if I have just been there recently. Seeing somewhere you have already been to in the Southwest never looks quite the same at different times of the year and under varying skies. Going to Monument Valley has the added benefit of either being able to stop in on Mexican Hat, Utah, for a “swinging steak” dinner or heading over to Bluff, Utah, for a bite at the Cow Canyon Trading Post restaurant, or if I’m really lucky, I might find a Navajo selling mutton stew roadside.

Update: This trip was with Adam Gross, but the blog entry was never completed.
