US 160, Arizona, USA
We are currently barrelling down US 160 at twice the speed limit and really pushing the Hyundai Santa Fe because as usual, we are late. We have a flight at 1400 and our GPS tells us we'll reach the airport at 1358.
We did go to Monument Valley again, and this time the weather was much better. We drove on dirt roads within the valley and saw many natural wonders. The place is indeed a place of outstanding beauty. There was a bit of light snowfall but it soon cleared up.
At the gift shop I noticed some Native American flutes and immediately thought of Colorado Dreams from Monument. Fitting name for the piece and the location I guess.
But anyway, as a result of all this we are now horribly late for our flight back to Denver, and I hope we can reach Farmington on time

Four Corners Regional Airport, New Mexico, USA
Well, that was certainly a mad rush. We got to the airport at 1345, but thankfully the flight would depart only at 1500, having been delayed. Now sitting around charging my camera, which died somewhere after leaving Monument Valley. Incidentally there's a Learjet parked here with United States Air Force roundels on it.

Four Corners Regional Airport, New Mexico, USA
Hmmm the flight's supposed to leave at 1507, but when I got to the gate, there was no plane. Why does this sound so familiar?

N201GL over Colorado
Boarding took pretty long because of weight and balance issues. Apparently we went out at MTOW. Still, we had a good takeoff at 1555 and we're now well on our way to KDEN, though it is a bit bumpy.

Denver, Colorado, USA
That landing was fun, especially since I had a front view thanks to the open cockpit. We landed at around 1700, then taxied to the gate.
Had a good dinner at Applebee's before heading to the hotel. Going to sleep now, tomorrow will be a long day, but it's the journey home, so I can't complain.
