Alburquerque New Mexico to Mexican Hat Utah (386 Miles)

The four of us are now on our own now that Clint and Charleen are staying on in Alburquerque for a few more days.
We headed west knowing that we had quite a long ride ahead of us and it was mainly highway cruising to the Arizona border where we then turned north towards Utah.
The country was not that interesting until we got into Monument Valley when the rising peaks and rocky outcrops became quite spectacular. On the way in to Mexican Hat we found out why it had the name. From a distance there was a rocky outcrop with a large boulder on top we did resemble a hat. It was very hot when we arrived and stayed hot throughout the night. We had to change rooms once as the air con could not keep up but did manage to get a reasonable nights sleep.
