Day 79 Lake Powell, AZ to Bernalillo, NM


Day 79 7/16/2015
 
Sunset at Lake Powell


We left Lake Powell and headed for another bucket list spot of mine, 4 Corners where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet.
 
Campground full of Jackrabbits
We made good time and enjoyed the scenery all along our route but when we arrived at 4 Corners, we encountered a monument in a state of decay, 40 booths of Indians selling crafts and a line moving at a snail’s pace to stand on the spot.


We looked and left, disappointed in the experience but able to check off the item on my list.
 
4 Corners
Continuing into New Mexico, we passed through Red Mesa (home of the high school Redskins) and through some more prosperous groups of Navahos as we searched for a place to stay.


There didn’t seem to be any RV parks in the Navaho Nation, just a few abandoned parks and lots of no parking and no camping signs.
 
Camping by the Rio Grande
At last we came to the Coronado Campground in Bernalillo, NM willing to take just about any site but the camp host placed us on a bluff overlooking the Rio Grande!  Are we lucky or what?
