As I've previously mentioned, I used to travel all the time. Any place, any time, any where was an ideal time for a road trip. The above photo was taken in New Mexico at Shiprock. It stands tall and proud. You can see it for miles across the flat terrain. Shiprock is on tribal land and is not accessible by the public. I was on a 21 day backpacking expedition as part of a college geology class. We had to attain special permits to camp there. We slept under the stars near the base of this magnificent natural structure while coyotes howled all night. It was quite a hike to reach the point that the walls reach straight up to the sky. I was told that tribal people make the journey to Shiprock to touch the walls which are considered to be sacred. If you are ever driving through that area don't miss the opportunity to see a work of art by the Great Creator.
