Spring backpacking: The Navajo Nation
Jun 23, 2022 09:55:20 #
After our eight days of warm up in Bears Ears National Monument we went off (with all the proper permits) for 15 days on the Navajo Nation. If you remember my 2018 posts from Skeleton Mesa, here we were just a little bit north of there. Ran into serious water problems with the worst draught in over a 1,000 years and crazy crazy winds. The combination forced us to abandon our planned climb of the No Mans Mesa (first photo). Did get to see some cool things like Navajo Wagon (circa 1910) abandoned far in the backcountry (photo 3 shows it's breaking system!). The 4th photo shows No Mans Mesa in the background with a Navajo Hogan (no longer used) in the foreground. MORE PHOTOS TO COME SOON SO STAY TUNED.

Nicely done. I particularly like the "Hogan". In the late 1950's I was working in the service department for a Heavy Equipment Distributer. This was at the time that the Nation first began paving their roads. The "Hogan" was the standard of housing within the Navajo Nation. Today in traveling across all the nice paved highways one only sees a token hogan here and there. You captured a wonder of the Era of the past.
Gracias
