Sunday, 20th
Father's Day

Monkey's not known for his reverence of ancestors (cuz he's got none that he knows of). But he is part of a clan ("Plush Toys"), so at least he has a totemic sense of what it would be like to have progenitors (at least at the polymer level).

Whew, what a mouthful! All Opice meant to say (not that he said any of that) is that today is Dad's Day and Monkey wants people to show a little respect for the man who gave his name to this national park.

Take an Air Tour of Ganado
with Opice & J.L. Hubbell.

1st full day of Summer

Not speaking of fall... here's what locals call "Ganado Falls" of the Pueblo Colorado Wash.

It may not look like much now--but Monkey's ready for the next flash flood when it's gonna go totally Niagara!

Monkey can't get the hogan's door open. The lock must have rusted shut.

Since he can't get inside to show you around, he asked me to spin him around the hogan outside. Seems logical to him.

Per usual, his wish became my command.

Another tour! Click the pix to see bigger versions of all the things Monkey found around back of the Hubbell home.

Can you guess which one he found most important?

"Isn't this pretty? I think I can make jewelry out of it when I get it home.

Point your mouse at the bad boy and watch him try to make his getaway!

Note: this is a genuine Civil War ambulance wagon. One of perhaps 3 remaining in the world.

Monkey rests outside the trading post on this chair carved from a log. "It's hard," he complains. "What kind of wood is this?"

I explain it's petrified.

"What scared it so bad?" he asks.

I smile explaining the word also means "turned to stone." The original rock probably came from the petrified forest just outside Nazlini. Opice makes me promise to show it to him next week.
