Let's Trade!

DAY 6
TUES 2 OCT 2012
Drive: from Monument Valley, AZ to Cortez, Colorado.

Navajo roadside kiosk, somewhere along mile marker 13 (Utah), US HWY 163.

Our guide/driver had stopped to chat and perhaps trade with some of the Navajo that have several small roadside kiosks scattered here and there in the Navajo Nation reservation.


On a previous trip we had taken together, I had sent Lloyd (our guide/driver) a CD of all the photos I had taken. He had several processed into poster prints, and brought them along with him on this trip. I was flattered to think he thought my photos worthy enough to be made into prints, but less so when he took it upon himself to disappear at odd times to try and sell, hawk, or trade these photos of mine for whatever he could get for them.
Idiosyncrasies aside, we felt very fortunate to have Lloyd Taylor as our guide/driver. He was a wonderful raconteur, storyteller, historian, excellent travel companion; all 'round good guy and gentleman - despite a few odd quirks now and then.
We do miss him, and think of him often.
