The Santo Domingo Reservation The last time as I was in the Santo Domingo Rez you could not take pictures. I don't know where these photos came from.... The last time I saw this church it was not painted up like this....but they were working construction on the inside of it when I went in there.... Here's an older photo..... |

I am a huge fan of Tony Hillerman's books about the Navajo Policemen.....I've been to lots of the places his characters travel in.....the towns, the roads, the dirt roads, etc... The late Tony Hillerman ....the movies.... I'm reading this right now! |

Aneth, Utah I was on my way to the rig one day back in '79 or '80 and had to go through Aneth and cross Montezuma Creek to get out into the Badlands to travel about another 30-40 miles to the rig. ( At that time Rand McNally had a note on that portion of Utah that said: DO NOT TRAVEL INTO THIS AREA WITHOUT A GUIDE. They don't have that printed on the maps anymore....) Anyway, one of the drillers on the rig I was working on had an accident ( fender bender ) in Aneth. All traffic was stopped at 5 AM in the middle of the road. They were waiting for a Navajo Policeman to come up to investigate from Window Rock!! I finally got out of line and drove my Bronco along the shoulder in the sagebrush and passed everybody and went on my way. The Indian Townsfolk were lining the bluffs along either side of the road looking down at all the goings-on! I split before they started scalping the miscreants! |

" When you get to where the creek looks washed out take the road that heads to Twin Buttes and you'll see where the road goes to the left.....it looks like a lot of tracks on it. Take that six miles or so and then head toward the peak...." |

That reminds me!!!
One time a buddy of mine was heading to the rig to change out crews at 11 PM way out there in Utah..... .....and his van got a short in it and he lost his headlights!! It was winter and colder than Hell!! The roughnecks took turns hanging out the window using a flashlight to see the road on the way to the rig!! It took them HOURS to get to the rig!!! |
