If you go to Dead Horse Point, there is an unpaved trail that winds it's
way to Moab. It's probably about 10 miles but it'll take 2 hours to make
the run by, preferably, 4wd, but a car could do it.

Good information but first I'd have to find another wife.

That's why I like mine. A near death experience in the rent a car on
some mountain dirt road is expected. She likes to pick out the most
obscure route to get anywhere when we are on vacation

One thing we noticed in Az/Nm is every time you stop to look at
something. you have to give an Indian $10.

We didn't notice that. In Monument Valley, there are tours put on by the Navajo which cost. But,
they're worth it. Many of the sites are in the Navajo Nation, and there is a charge to visit a lot
of them. We didn't pay the bucks to get our picture taken at the Four Corners park! Here is a map of
the Navajo Nation showing some of the sites in the area.

Also, Wayne (if you're still reading), be sure and hit the Navajo flea market in Tuba City. It is
well worth the hour (or so) drive south of Page.

When we were at 4 corners we had to give an Indian $10 each to walk
down to the (misplaced) marker.
They also charged us just to drive into Monument Valley. In fact I
have a picture of a "free" monument and a $20 one (outside the gate).
They look very much the same.
At the Canyon de Chelly there was a drunk Indian with a knife on the
trail demanding $50. Some people in the parking lot actually paid him.
I just told him to get the **** away from me and my wife moved around
behind him with a big rock in her hand. He got the **** away. I think
we paid $10 there too.
I know it was so common that we started joking about it.
I do understand that this is about all we gave them when we stole the
rest of their property and they have a right to make a buck on it.

That's very true. I ended up in a hospital in Durango CO because I
bought some Reeses candy in a small store in the middle of nowhere and
got food poisoning! It's too bad they don't have facilities and such to
make an decent living. Of course, just like the rest of society, there
will be some that just don't want to.

Y'all never heard of 'stale dating'?
I don't buy unless I find that 'expiry date' stamped on food.
