That region is my favorite region in the US. Small towns that are fairly isolated, each with its own character. Tremendous geological features that draw the eyes at every turn of the road or trail. Hidden ruins to hint at lives and societies long passed into a history that was only recorded on lonely canyon frescoes in shades of the local rock or carefully carved into the sandstone cliff faces. Tales told only to those clever enough to decipher the clues in the placement and composition of the creatures and symbols. Fingerprints in the mud chinking or adobe bricks used to build their shelters and granaries make you wonder whether the maker knew that they would last hundreds of years unaltered. It is truly a special region to me and I wish I had been able to spend more of my life out there. I understand why people settled there originally.
