I was up early enough for some great sunrise shots but thought the color wouldn't be good. Boy, was I wrong. I did manage to get a mesa shot in the morning sun but missed the great color.

At 8:45 AM we boarded our tour truck/bus for a 5 1/2 hour tour of Mystery Valley. There were 12 of us on the tour, three German ladies, a couple from Belgium, two ladies from London and five Americans. We had a great time visiting the Anasazi ruins, looking at the petroglyphs and pictographs and shooting the great scenery. Our guide, Don, a Navajo of few words, was a great cook. Our lunch of hamburgers was delicious.
