The idea was to go to Page, via the Navajo Bridge. When I got to the familiar intersection, the road was closed, and the detour went off the wrong direction.<\/p>\n
On my way to Tuba City I realized that using the detour route would take me about 250 miles out of my way and I could think of no reason to visit Page at that cost. <\/p>\n
None of my maps showed 89 closed and the installation of 89T which is the detour route. But I’m using 2012 maps.<\/p>\n
I didn’t see anything in Tuba City so kept going to Kayenta, then Monument Valley. They had a nifty dry camping area a few years ago. No longer: it’s closed.<\/p>\n
But an enterprising Navajo has RV parking just outside the gate, no facilities. There was one rental already here, later a group of six more came in, all were together. It’s a spot in the desert with a view of the monuments, good enough for tonight.<\/p>\n
