May 2009

A friend was visiting from out of town and so we decided to take advantage of the clear skies and mild temperatures and go for a road trip. We had just been down near Window Rock, AZ and were heading back to Farmington, NM. The easiest way to do so is going over Narbona Pass. The speed limit on this road is 65 and I was travelling at 65 when coming around a corner just south of the picnic area (there is only one area that is located east just off the highway).

I know exactly where that is, I used to go cross country skiing up there , being a beginner, we didn’t go far off the highway. Once we were up that dirt road near the picnic area, it was snowed in and no one had travelled it but we saw some huge tracks and it looked like it had rolled in the snow . We thought it was a bear and left. It would have been really early for a bear and we didn’t know bear footprints. They were not crisp and clear but we didn’t linger.around 2002.
