Shiprock

Bear and I are both fans of Tony Hillerman novels and I like the Ella Claw series by Amiee & David Thurlo so we wanted to see Shiprock on the Navajo Nation – both the city and the rock. Having been to Windowrock several years ago I was disappointed in the town. There was nothing there: a shopping mall and some housing and that was about it. No cultural stuff. The rock on the other hand was spectacular. It rises out of the mesa and is huge. (We actually could see it from Mesa Verde the next day.)
