MotoPhoto Adventure – Day 30 (Indian Trailer)
Simply going to post what I put as my Facebook status today…
“So we find ourselves in Farmington, NM. To be honest, don’t know much about the town but first impressions suck. Well that and the 4 small towns we had to drive thru to get here. I mean, HOW MANY cops can work the beat in towns of like 2500″.
Well after I posted that my friend Emily’s mom Cyndi posted some funny stuff about Farmington, NM. Basically she confirmed my initial hunch since her and hubby had a short stint here when some work brought them to the area. Then to backup the claim, my buddy and fellow photog Brock Lawson mentioned the town is a dump, since he also did some time here.
Anyway, today we rode from Ogden, UT (right outside of Salt Lake City) thru Colorado and into New Mexico and now in, well the lovely town of Farmington, NM. Total miles ridden today, 475. That and the 520 of yesterday means a 10o0 miles in two days which has me a bit tired. Well that and a few hundred miles in high winds.
Today I would say we put the Moto in MotoPhoto Adventure. I did take a few photos of something that caught my eye in Navajo Nation land, enjoy…
Be sure and see “Shiprock”
“”Shiprock (Navajo: Tsé Bit?a?í, “rock with wings” or “winged rock”[5]) is a rock formation rising nearly 1,583 feet (482.5 m) above the high-desert plain on the Navajo Nation in San Juan County, New Mexico, USA. It has a peak elevation of 7,177 feet (2,187.5 m) above the sea level. It lies about 12 miles (19 km) southwest of the town of Shiprock, which is named for the peak. Governed by the Navajo Nation, the formation is in the Four Corners region and plays a significant role in Navajo religion, mythology and tradition. It is located in the center of the Ancient Pueblo People or Ancestral Puebloan civilization, a prehistoric Native American culture of the Southwest United States often referred to as the Anasazi. Shiprock is a point of interest for rock climbers and photographers and has been featured in several film productions and novels. It is the most prominent landmark in northwestern New Mexico.””
