Today, we are leaving Shiprock and the Navajo Indian Nation
Reservation. We had a pretty short day of 55 miles. The rock formations on the
route today were very pretty. The short day put us into our next camp at an
early time of 10:30 a.m. We stayed on the grounds of a vineyard/winery. Tours
of the facility and the wine making process were available and tasting of the
wines they bottle here. The grounds are down into a valley with beautiful rock
walls surrounding us on two sides. The San Juan River winds right by the
grounds and is supposed to be one of the premier fly fishing rivers in North
America. Just before sunset, the sun
peaked out under the clouds and lite up the rock wall in a glorious bright wall
for our enjoyment, just after dinner.
We had a relaxing afternoon, but it was again in the upper
90s and Julie came in pretty exhausted from her SAG duties. Everyone is looking
toward tomorrow’s route, which includes over 5,000 feet of climbing.
