September 2008

After spending three days flying from Warwick, NY to
Durango, Co with Dad in his Cessna Skylane 182 (N2437X),
Pete took the controls the following morning while Dad and
I were treated to a birds-eye-view of the vast and ever
changing scenery. We navigated to Window Rock AZ, the
seat of the government of the Navajo Nation. After lunching
in Window Rock we continued flying for the rest of the day
site seeing over Canyon de Chelly National Monument,
Monument Valley Utah, and the Goosenecks of the San
Juans by Mexican Hat Utah. We continued over Soda
Springs, Utah for a spectacular view of the otherworldly
terrain of the San Juan Canyon. We ended the day flying
over Mesa Verde as we headed back to Durango. The
