Well we went to our station that is at last on this trip. The goal was called Monument Valley in the border area of Utah and Arizona. Since there is no direct route from Bryce Canyon there is, we had the 110 air miles through a 280-mile detour set back (approximately 5 hours drive).
the way we passed the Lake Powell.
This is a huge artificial lake in the middle reaches of the Colorado Plateau.
By chance we found a state park with a great beach (sandy and very clean run to the flat) and made a swimming break. It was amusingly camp there on the beach. Caravans and mobile homes were really all over the sand and then needed some outside help to get back on solid ground to get the bikes. The view was fantastic all around but unfortunately the water was too warm to serve as cooling.
We thought we were then not too long.
next stop was Monument Valley and the dark storm clouds. Sometimes we had been afraid of Blitzeinschlaegen the caravan, for most there is indeed no bigger objects to the left and right than yourself
Luckily we survived the trip without any problems and arrived at Evening in the valley on.
This strange rock formations are always fascinating.
The campsite was almost right at the entrance to the Navajo Tribal Park in the middle of Monument Valley.
It would have so everything can be nice if it could not have given these two wild dogs, which are clearly felt comfortable on the court (of course, was fed and caressed by the campers). For us scaredy dogs (especially Millie) was the pure horror. We have not even been sitting on this camp out and eaten.
But we had a great view from the caravan.
Over there it is, the famous backdrop for various commercials and movies.
The Navajo Indians have set up to protect their country, to the Navajo Tribal Park and operate it on its own.
found in such tourist points is always a nice person to be photographed. And vice versa of course also happy to do it. The stone was much sought after for photos. No wonder, in the background.
We drove our car with the loop. Fortunately, the M-Class a 4-wheel drive. That was no official duty but it was so much easier over the bumpy ground, and up through the inch-high sand mountain. The view from this loop from is beyond description. See for yourself!
You can always stop short and get off!
This rock formation called "The Three Sisters" (The Three Sisters).
All brave!
This is one of Holly's favorite pictures!
It was only early afternoon when we finished with the park were . And so we decided to follow the recommendation of Chris and Micah, and us "Fort Bluff" to look at. On the way there we passed the "Mexican hat" ...
... and the "Gooseneck Canyon" by (shaped like a swan neck).
"Fort Bluff" had died some time before us no one was there.
We still had our fun!
However, if you imagine that the settlers at that time to this Fellowship in snow and ice over the rocks and through ravines till then tortured, one can only salute. Since I am very pleased with the convenient travel options today.
We were relatively early in the evening back at the campsite and then threw the steaks in the pan. Actually, we wanted nice grill again! But the dogs!
Then we felt (the adults) gefuttert so full that we made a small digestive tour. The children were (as always) no real desire to walking and stayed in the caravan. You have done together for the washing up! Super!
We meanwhile are a bit climbed up the rocks behind the caravan and had him (and therefore our Suessen) all the time in mind (could happen then nothing).
Well, what is ours?

The next day we finally broke our 3-day journey home to Tuscaloosa . A very short stop we made at the "Four Corners National Monument" field. This is where the four states of Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico. Normally you can just put on it at this point, but unfortunately it was just renovated and was closed off a large section.
was called from it really take three full days to drive, drive. photograph state welcome signs: This is not so bored, we invented a game. The collection is impressive. 
Finally back in Alabama! We were so happy that the trip will soon come to an end would that we had to get off first.
This is the balance of our trip: Overall, we have covered 5855 miles in 17 days (equivalent to 9368 km), taking 120 hours and 22 minutes sitting in the car.

That sounds enormous, but we felt was not that bad (except maybe the 3 days at the end).
fact is, we have seen and experienced so much as never before in a vacation. It has a giant was fun and definitely one of our most beautiful travel so far.
