Apr 2

who'd gone to California, and was heading to Texas. We rented a car to visit the
Navajo, and Hopi Nations. Then I made my way to San Francisco & LA, to Albuquerque, NM, then back to NYC. All by bus.

Next summer '80; was Greyhound to South Dakato, Denver where my cousin took me up unto the Rock Mts on a motorcycle(!), Hopi Nation, Albuquerque, and home.

If I was extra lucky, the seat next to me would be empty, and I could stretch out over night to sleep a bunch of hours.
Other than an occasional small glitch they were fantastic trips.

TY, Trailways & Greyhound! Memories still bright. Some slides. Also kept a journal w sketches, too, for each trip.
