Re: Kabu,
There are sometimes, in fact, Indians in the viewpoints and rest areas with jewelry, pottery, and other craft goods for sale spread on blankets on the ground. But it is mostly stuff from China or basic bead-stringing--very little authentic stuff and all designed to sell to those who don't know any better, or don't care about provenance. Now and then I have bought something, but usually real crafts, real stones, real art. Once, in Canyon de Chelly ('de Shay') I picked up some Kokopellis painted on flat bits of sandstone, and one kind of lovely stylized one carved on a piece of cottonwood.

Re: FormerStudentIntern.
Another little thing we have in common! Have you considered taking 2-3 weeks off, and just driving around the West?

Re: RPresta,
It really is breathtaking, the bones of the Earth, just... there, the planet being the planet, the same layers visible across vast distances, a kind of demonstration of the one-ness of it all... Yeah, I love them too!
