May 23. Spent the last couple days in the car. On Saturday drove from Monument Valley to Canyon de Chelly in a blasting sandstorm, blew a fender off the RV. Saw some dramatic canyon scenery but through a haze of sand and dust. On Sunday drove to Farmington NM through more 50 mph winds. Looks like the truck blew a gasket going up over the Chucksa mts. was overheating and boiling coolant through the exhaust headers. Joe and Lou will have to stay in Farmington for a couple of days to repair it. We are going to press on with the bare minimum in my panniers and bike from motel to motel for a couple of days. Trouble is, there aren't too many through this part of the country. Will say at Dulce NM tomorrow nite, probably stay at Abiquiu NM the next. Hopefully Joe and Lou will catch up to us on the way to Taos on the 3rd day. No new posts for the next few days since we won't be hauling any computers on the bikes. Bye for now.
