I'm jealous! That looks like a great place to relax for a few days.

sounds great! We just got back yesterday afternoon from a motorcycle ride around the area; left Wednesday afternoon, went across the Navajo Reservation to Window Rock; next day to Taos, NM across the res in NM; Next day from Taos to Gunnison, CO; next day to Durango CO and then back across the res to home in Flagstaff.
It was just so wonderful to watch the lovely scenery go by and just not have to do anything to get from here to there!
Lovely.

Sounds great!
I'd go through withdrawal for a day or two, but then it would be great.
Have fun.

I don't think I will go through withdrawal. I'll be tired from all that activity and from making sure we don't get lost on the trails... Yes, we have a GPS, thankfully.
Spoke, your post made me remember something from my younger days when you mentioned the "res." When I graduated from ASU, it was very hard to get teaching positions. We used to joke that we'd be "working on the res, in Chinle," because that was the only place that would hire us. Or the Revco in Papago Plaza.
Oops, I just dated myself. Neither Revco or Papago Plaza are there anymore.

We have a camper on land in Abbot which is also near Greenville. We are up there every other weekend and there is so much to do and see. We have hiked alot of the mountains up there. If you get a chance you could check out the B52 bomber crash site up by Elephant mt. Its really amazing that anyone survived the crash. There is wreckage all over the place. You could also climb Squaw Mt or Kineo Mt. If you do any geocaching with your gps theres tons of geocaches up there. We ride our mt bikes and our rode bikes up that way also. Its funny-when I get home I always feel like we dont have any hills around here compared to up there. LOL. If you are in the Greenville area you could also ride your mt bikes on the old railroad beds. Im sure you will have a great time. Enjoy your time.
