ije stoeffwllc srttrame 4 no the tribune stouffville oxt may 2s is painted desert 103 in the shade described by johnson family by mrs bruce johnson dear stouftviile friends i hear via the grape vine that you would like another letter so here g pes no we didnt 01 down the grand canyon riough that- is where mv last letter stopped believe me it could be done very easily as there are only a few fences at the mot popul ar observation points and else where one could just step off into pace how they would manage to get anyone out who cid lake the fatal plunge is be yond tne as there are no roads in the canyon and the donkey trails are few and far between when 1 cii earned that one of the children was slowly somer saulting down into the depths 1 knew it was time that we left our last view of the can yon was from desert view tower through excellent bin oculars at the top of the tow- er one can see snowcapped mount humphrey xorth of the canyon with a good stretch oi the colorado river to the west and xorth and a distant glimpse of the tainted desert to the southeast from nere we travelled straight south to flagstaff down through lovely ponder- bsa pines into desert xavajo indian reservation up again through more pines into flag staff we liked the country so well around here that we in vestigated the farm situation but when we found that their growing season is shorter than ontarios and that almost all they grow is pinto beans we decided to love it and leave it the reason for the short grow ing season is the altitude which is over 7000 ft before leaving flagstaff we visited oak creek canyon this is what people expect to see when they visit the grand canyon rushing stream beautiful trees spectacular switcrnback high way and striking rock format ions our destination down oak creek was montezumas castle which isnt a castle and has nothing to do with montezuma but is an ancient indian pueblo cut into the rock walls of the canyon and believed to have been built by the hopi tribe alas we never reached the castle it fvvas 100 in the shade and utterly unbearable in the sun so we turned off into cool slirde dabbled our feet in the icecold waters of oak creek and thought we were in heav en the painted desert and the petrified forest lie between flagstaff and the new mexico border the latter as you prob ably know is not a forest but a desert with petrified logs scattered here and there one has to touch and lift some of the petrified wood before one is convinced that it is really stone the original tree rings and markings are there but all changed into beautiful colored stone the temptation to carry away some of the smaller piec es is almost irresistable but as the keepers point out if every one of the thousands of visitors carried otf even a chip there would soon be none left the painted desert if its lov ers will forgive me for saying so was my idea of hell a shimmering trackless eternity of sand and sun and colored rock with pinks and reds pre dominating the thermometer stood at 103 degrees and i gazed at that heatfilled hades and shivered the least said about the xorthwesi section of xew mexico from gallup almost to the colorado border the bett er until one reaches shiprock a government helium plant on the san juan river it is all indian reservation poor in dians how they even exist is a mystery the abomination of desolation is a very apt description of that district with its blowing sand barren rid ges and barefooted starving indians we saw quite a few horses and some sheep al though there wasnt enough grass to feed a hungry jack- rabbit we readied fannington that i ght it is a prosperous fruit country watered by the san juan river hough lite desert is still too close for comfort and one feels that t is jus waiting for irrigation to fail so that it may creep in and pos sess the land once more the next morning we caught our first glimpse of the snow-capp- 61 rockiest some time later the highway turned sharply to the left into a beautiful val ley through which the san juan rushed and tumbled and a sign informed us that we were entering colorado be hind the lush green meadow rose wooded hills and behind them the snowcaps much of colorado was to prove disap- thintinc but our firs glimpse cf i surpassed our fondest dreams 1 will give ou three guesses a- to our childrenv firt request in colorado
