Canyon De Chelly

From Chris:   Last week at this time we were in Canyon De Chelly National Monument  http://www.nps.gov/cach/index.htm   in northeastern Arizona.  We spent two days at the park's campground.  There were no hook ups, but there was water and a dump available.  They don't take reservations, but if you can get in, it's free!!!   There are only a handful of sites that could accomodate a large rig. 
Canyon De Chelly is on the Navajo reservation.  This reservation encompasses part of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado.  It's BIG. 
We loved Canyon De Chelly.  It's not easy to get to, not easy to camp there and the small town near the park on the Navajo reservation could be considered depressing to some.  The good news is that there are signs that the Navajo government/nation is spending money on schools and drug and alcohol addiction.
To make it more difficult while we were there, there was a 24 hour sandstorm.  A real one.  It was very uncomfortable in 35 mph sustained winds and gusts over 70 mph.  We were stuck in the coach and even though we had everything closed up, we still got dust inside.  I'm still cleaning it up.  We are still glad we went to the Canyon in spite sandstorms and no hookups. 
The park is wonderful.  Words and pictures won't do it justice.  However, here are a few pictures that we took.  If you ever get near the area, GO.
