My route home curved north of the Painted Desert, through the heart of the Navajo nation. I paused briefly to absorb the history of the Hubbell Trading Post (nearly 150 years old) by stepping into historic buildings filled with blankets and baskets both new and old. At the state line I found Window Rock and a lovely Navajo woman, selling jewelry from her folding table near the rock. After a chat, I bought a bracelet and earrings ($10) that I still treasure.
