We got up early in order to attend church in Kayenta, about 25 miles away.  Kayenta is a small town of trailers and similar buildings set on red clay hills.  The roads are very bad and the neighborhoods very disorganized. It is difficult to find things to begin with, but following a GPS to find something in this place is a new experience.  We followed the GPS into a rugged and hilly area but found no First Baptist Church, which was the nearest to the kind of evangelical church we wanted to attend.  In the general area was a building that looked like a church, but the gate was only half open and there were no cars there.  I walked up the hill to the church only to find that it was a PCUSA Presbyterian church.  I opened the doors and looked in.  No one was there to greet people.  I looked inside the sanctuary to find a woman Navajo in the pulpit singing a hymn in Navajo to two Navajo women in the pews.  To the other side there was a white couple who sat motionless.  The leader was very enthusiastic in trying to get more singing to come from this small group, but the prospects were slim.  I went back to the car to explain to Betty what I had found.  We then drove around the immediate area to see if the GPS was just a little off.  We then widened the circle of search finding no cars anywhere.  We drove to a school where we found a pickup truck about to leave.  We asked the Navajo driver where the First Baptist Church was, but she had no idea.  We saw a Catholic church with the gate locked and no cars present.  We decided to drive back to Monument Valley.  Along the way we saw a pentecostal church with the parking lot full.  That was not our cup of tea, so we continued back to the RV park.  Along the way back on Monument Valley Road, I pulled over to photograph the spot in the film where Forrest Gump stopped running.  I did not stand in the middle of the road (as many foreigners do at their great risk, since drivers go at break-neck speed) but did get a couple interesting shots with my phone.  Since the phone easily loads to the computer, I have included the photos here.  We also stopped for gas at the gas station at the foot of the hill leading to the RV park.  I took a photo of its location and the sticker on the pump that explains that you are in the Navajo Nation and pay taxes accordingly.

On a hazy day I shot Rt 163 from the north (opposite side) which is what appears in the movie

Sunday afternoon we drove to Valley of the Gods, a place mentioned by the RV tour but skipped due to the difficulty of driving into the valley for a bus.  We drove there in the Jeep and truly needed it, especially when we followed Betty's GPS which took us on a very rough road to nowhere.  The actual valley was in a different place, so we went back up the rough road and took the not-quite-so-rough road to the real valley.  This is another place like so many in the Southwest where a Western movie could easily be filmed.
