We were camped at one of our favorite boondocking sites. A storm was rolling in that evening creating very interesting clouds and lighting from the waning sunlight. I had to capture that image.

Camera Used – Sony DSC RX10 III
Monument Valley is not a valley at all, but rather a wide, flat landscape interrupted by colorful red buttes and spires rising hundreds of feet into the air. These are the last remnants of the sedimentary rock layers that once covered the entire region. It straddles the border of Arizona and Utah. In dozens of films stretching back almost a century, Monument Valley has stood as a symbol of the American West.
In our humble opinion, Monument Valley is one of the most underrated vacation destinations. It’s appeal is dwarfed by the likes of Zion National Park, Arches National Park, Bryce Cannon National Park and others. We’ve been to them all! Monument Valley is clearly the winner when it comes to being able to relax, travel at your own pace, meet the Natives and simply enjoy the wonderfully strange landscapes. We will return someday!

This was the first day of the IMCA Red River Modified Tour in May 2019. We had raced at Heart O’ Texas Speedway in Elm Mott, Texas the night before and had to check everything on the car before the races that night at Kennedale Speedway Park. I was sitting in the car while AJ worked on the brakes. In the Texas heat, we were able to go into our camper and cool off, which made everything so much better.

This photo was taken on BLM Land between Salmon, Idaho and Idaho Falls, Idaho at an elevation of 7500-feet. This was during July 2019 while my son and I were on our Great Summer Road Trip. We drove over 6000 miles and covered sixteen different states.
