Blanding day 4 - Monument Valley, Goosenecks State Park, and Valley of the Gods (again)

For our final tour from Devil's Canyon, we headed down to Monument Valley which is a Navajo tribal park just on the Arizona side of the border.  $20 entry and you get to drive around a gravel loop and look at the rocks along with a few thousand other people.  To be fair, it was also a Saturday.  Was impressive but our preference is for Valley of the Gods... which is why we drove that loop again on the way back (but from east to west this time, to keep it different).  In between we stopped at Goosenecks State Park which we'd missed last time by cutting off on the Valley of the Gods loop.  Tried to talk the boss into going up and down the Mobi Dugway again but she wasn't having any of that.

Why do people do this?  Are they trying to copy the spires or something?  Or just prove that they're co-ordinated enough to balance a rock on another?  

If you do this, please stop because it looks stupid.  Or pile your rocks in your own yard where the rest of us don't have to see them.  

Unless you're legitimately trying to mark something, or point a direction.  Or keep the coyotes from digging up a body.  

Just north of Monument Valley is the town of Mexican Hat.  Just north of the town of Mexican Hat is this balanced rock.  Not sure how any of this relates, but thought it was interesting.  

OK, my pictures of Goosenecks aren't that impressive, so just a couple here.  Google up some images to be really impressed.  

Monument Valley pic out of order?  Nope, Valley of the Gods where you can drive where you want at your own pace and only meet 1 or 2 other vehicles...
