Back to Tuba City now... I stopped to check out Coal Mine Canyon first -- it's only about 15 miles from Tuba and down a short dirt road.
|
|
|
"The cracked floor....." (long story -- I found this right by Coal Mine Canyon though)
|
|
|
Here's the rug I bought from my new friend Lorraine...
|
|
|
Another of Lorraine's creations -- this is the one Monica bought!
|
|
|
Okay, moving along to a barbeque the next weekend at Lorraine's ranch -- here she is making tortillas
|
|
|
Alvina tending the fire (she also works at the clinic)
|
|
|
Sally keeping an eye on the corn (or is that an ear? <g>)
|
|
|
Some of the docs and nurses from the hospital
|
|
|
This was the tortilla I tried to make -- apparently there's an art to making them round!
|
|
|
A couple more of the family docs
|
|
|
Dinner's almost ready...
|
|
|
Monica's car had a pretty fun trip down a muddy dirt road on her way to come visit me -- she came to Tuba 'cause I was on call and stuck there.
|
|
|
There are dinosaur tracks all over around there, but some in particular with Navajo guides to show you around -- just a couple miles from Tuba and (hopefully) within pager range, so we went there while I was on call!
|
|
|
Monica comparing hand sizes...
|
|
|
Okay, me too!
|
|
|
Here's our guide, standing on what he said was a piece of petrified dinosaur poo.
|
|
|
Okay, it looks the part...
|
|
|
Back at the clinic -- on my last day the nurses threw me a party! Here's Linda in the break room
|
|
|
Lorraine brought all the fixin's for Navajo tacos!
|
|
|

|
|
Almost done...
|
|
|
Lunch is ready!
|
|
|
Drs. Kandel and Adams
|
|
|
Before I left, Lorraine showed me her loom -- there are 2 rugs on it that she's working on at the moment...
|
|
|
A closer view -- I really liked the one in the front here and put a deposit on it! When it comes in the mail I'll take a picture of the finished product for comparison!
|
|
|
Just thought this part looked cool.
|
|
|
Even closer view!
|
|
|
Here's Lorraine with another rug she made
|
|
|
basket of yarn...
