10/31/2008: Day 08 - trip to Page to Antelope Canyon

Today the R-66 times deserves a break. We drive on the Hwy 89 North out of Flagstaff we stop after a few miles at the Sunset Vulcano. This is a 600 years ago last been active volcano. The tour we save us but because you can walk around only in the low-lying lava field. The crater itself is unfortunately not accessible for security reasons. So back up onto the highway, and after 2-hour drive through the Navajo Nation (Indian reservation), and always along the Echo Cliffs (a mountain range of red sandstone), we reach the 1957 in the wake Glen of the dam construction, the city of Page. Once in the Antelope Canyon, we can immediately go with the next visitor tour. A true off-road adventure. The 3.5-mile access road to the entrance of the Upper Canyon on the dirt road is not for the faint of heart. But the canyon is safe to commit. The play of color photographs are beautiful, not very easy. A tripod would be an advantage, but with the oppressed against the wall and thus stabilized camera it works quite well. The best time would be for June and July, because as the sun is directly above the canyon.
go after an hour we returned to the off-road truck. A few hundred meters away there is still the Lower Canyon. Although it is not as powerful as its namesake, but somehow almost more interesting.
The entrance is hard to find, only a narrow gap in the rock, just goes in that one. How to make the fat people I'm not quite clear. But who creates the entry, which can at least get stuck in the middle not in it. In this canyon but the light reaching the ground, the easier taking pictures and the number of subjects is endless. After an hour we managed to only about 400 meters long canyon, and we go outside again to the starting point. To strengthen
we stop at a Chinese restaurant and then we drive to the Glen Dam, which dammed the Colorado River, and take take another look at the port of Lake Powell (Lake) before we begin the return journey back to Flagstaff. The setting sun makes the Echo Cliff Mountains in a more intense red appear to be on the way there. In Flagstaff we decide to return to the Super 8 Motel, since we already know at least what works and what does not. After the reference room, I regret to find, internet does not work is probably because today is Halloween. But this is not our thing anyway, since we recover better from today's tour.




always flying to the yellow, then to get to the destination.

Only by the red mountains .....

.... and you're in the Antelope Canyon.


goes on a desert road, he has a "wild" ride the canyon.



Here is the entrance to the Upper Canyon, the upper portion of the split Canyon.


The colors are terrific games.


light in colors from yellow to blue and pink, etc.


Sometimes the light falls to the bottom of Canyon.


Here is a size comparison, a friendly Japanese gave us when photographed.


Here is my shadow the entry shows in the Lower Canyon. Nix for fat people. Whoever does not hein who can least not stuck inside.



The colors are still a little more intense. the light penetrates to the ground.


is right below a photographer colleague, as you can see the dimensions.


by wind and water over all formed and the most incredible in pastel colors.


After an hour we have the canyon behind us. Was a great experience.



On Golf Course Page you can see what you can do with water in a desert.

The bridge over the Colorado River near Page. Behind it is the huge Glen Dam.


After the dam the Colorado River is only a small Bacherl, but he has created millions of years, the wonder of the world Grand Canyon.


Behind the dam on the huge reservoir an El Dorado for the boat owner from half of America.


After an awesome day it on the highway at a speed of 75 miles back to Flagstaff. The trip to Page has paid off.

10/30/2008: Day 07 - From Holbrook to Flagstaff

The day started with a good breakfast at the Best Western, and a city tour. The Main Street down a side street up and down and doing some strange things discovered. A beetle as a one-seater roadster and rebuilt. Dinos lurking on the sidewalk to tourists and a Santa Fe freight train comes with no less noise than a jet nozzle 99 cars in motion.
But this changes abruptly when one leaves the city and drives through the prairie to Petrified Forest. Here are plenty around from fossilized tree trunks that were returned after 250 million years of erosion to the surface. Toll those witnesses of the earth and the environment increases the impressions again. After 25 miles, we come directly into the incredible Painted Desert. The "Painted Desert" is a unique play of color and you want to shoot there every hill and every ravine, but this is not possible. Even a small stone purchased as a souvenir (as a take away and being caught by the Park-Control costs $ 325 fine), and then off to Meteor Crater just before Flagstaff. Along the way we get from the first rain since the beginning of travel, but also a beautiful double rainbow. The crater itself is also not without risk, it has a diameter of about 900 meters, is about 200 meters deep, and was created by a 50 meter wide iron meteor before 50 thousand years. Within 10 seconds, 175 million cubic meters of rocks and stones formed this crater. It was discovered only during the railway construction 100 years ago. On the way to Flagstaff we still got a to see clouds and rain combined with sunset.

The most probable smallest beetle in the world ......

.... and here examined the Monica Stretch Beetle from the "Volkswagen plant in Holbrook!



Dinos can be seen everywhere, even here, once they were finally home!



entrance to Petrified Forest National Park near Holbrook / Az.



The first fossilized tree we get to see.



There are plenty of them around.


There are them in all sizes, but you can not even take a small stone from the park.
It is strictly controlled, and the penalties are juicy.

After millions of years the trees are exposed by erosion.


Fits on the old trees, a Rolls Rolls Year 1919th


.. and yet A second built in 1921, so it may have come 80 years ago on the R-66, but only with T Ford cars.


addition to the petrified tree trunks and other debris are worth seeing.


As a photographer you get here the little finger from the trigger!


at a lookout point, you can see even 800 year old stone paintings of the Indians!



Here is the first view of the Painted Desert (Painted Desert) - a play of color beyond compare!



Pink, yellow, green and white in any combination - it is to freak out!

It looks in the picture books from already overwhelming, but it is indescribable when you stand in front!


... and a picture, then we have to get away from this spectacle of nature.



After a short drive on I-40 (R-66, there is no, again until just before Flagstaff), we get to Winslow, Arizona. It is a totally dusty Western town, with two out as one way streets, Main Streets and a nice mini-center. The most famous landmark the city is the corner of Kinsley Avenue and 2.Mainstreet. The rock band "The Eagles" sang her 1972 hit "Take It Easy" with the line "Standin'on a Corner in Winslow Arizona" since this tourist hotspot and place their picture taken with the iron Gittarrenspieler. We, of course. In Sourvenier shop we were told that a lot of bikers with their Harleys (also from Austria - I think there was our DC-3 fan-club president Eeagle Gottfried Darringer meant) to come here and enjoy shopping souvenirs). Eh clear, I was of course what an R-66 tie, and my still outstanding R-66 pin of Missouri - eeeendlich)


! Without this photo, one gets away!


Not bad this rainbow!


Metor This is the crater just before Flagstaff, a neat hole in the ground!

And he looks up close to photograph themselves with the 18 mm wide-angle hard. In the middle of the hole from which it is still part of the 50 meters has recovered large meteorite. NASA has practiced here in the 60's for the lunar landing.



Here is an Apollo test capsule.


t This mandatory and beautiful sunset, we are approaching our collections Tagesetappenzeil in Flagstaff, Arizona.

10/29/2008: Day 06 - From Albuquerque to Holbrook, Arizona

The This day starts with sunshine and that remains the all day. Again, it goes
westward to the old sections of the R66. However, we always have to resort to the I-40 because the age-old R-66 as new parts of the Interstate was overdeveloped, or Indian reservations will not be accessible.
We pass many small towns and those who have experienced better times ever. To see there are a lot of conditions. We go through great gorges, vast plains and huge lava fields were created 2,500 years ago. When refueling, have again experienced a new version, namely that you pay at the pump earlier in the shop, and then fills up. Would be interesting to know what you do when you have paid too much fuel, and passes the tank.
achieve the afternoon we then Gallup, a beautiful old western town and a cute airport with a U.S. Air Force jet from the air terminal. Short we shall come to Arizona. Here we nozzle still in the far dustiest section of the R-66 with a huge dust cloud a few miles away. At sunset we arrive in Holbrook, Arizona. We choose the Best Western. We not only have a huge room with very good facilities, it is also even a dinner (we still had nowhere) and offered a full breakfast. At dinner we are served by Rebecca, an Indian cook who cares about touching us and has prepared Italian food (the spaghetti were only 5 cm long tasted it anyway).





Good morning - We can awaken us from the sun. is

The first few miles it on I-40 West then before and the huge R-66-casino.

side of I-40 is Indian country - allowed to enter!


Get off of I-40, up to the R-66 and again we are in a fantastic landscape.



Even the asphalt is made to the R-66.




those two is obviously a little bland ...


... and those two also.



wrote in this shack once Ernest Hemingway's classic "The Old Man and the Sea".


---- and to the letter, he continued drinking in this bar!



And again wide open spaces in the West.



in the rocks almost not to see a monastery of the Spaniards!


suddenly changed the landscape, vast lava fields to pull away.


erupted 2,500 years ago, now with grasses and trees covered.



In every large city there are countless sites with scrap old cars.



And again and again endless freight trains, right here with four locomotives.


The Red Mountain accompany us for many miles.


The whole train is loaded with tanks and trucks of the army.


In Gallup anticipated return to even a pilot.


breathtaking as the river meanders through the valley.


Here, the old Chief Yellow Horse Trading Post at Lipton.


A few miles further on the new Trading Post.



So it went on the R-66 in the 20's years.


received in Holbrook are already the dinosaur dinosaurs. Looks pretty dangerous out.


exactly the sunset, we reach our destination in Holbrook, Arizona.
