The town has all of 200 residents and before you can say "hello" you are in and out of the town.
Our campsite left much to be desired - gravel surface and no shade. We managed to get a spot next to the only small tree there was in that lot,
The only compensating factor was the mountains around us and a very good coffee shop (even John approved of their coffee!!!).
The three days we were there, it was blazing hot. So we did most of our sight seeing in the early part of the day and then got back to the RV to sit inside with the AC on. I really felt cooped up and sorely missed our awning.
Next door to the RV site was a gallery we tried to visit. The front window had a board saying: "I am always here except when I am somewhere else". On the evening before we left Utah, we found the place open and had a nice visit with the artist and his family. His sister-in-law was visiting from Delaware and much to our surprise we learned that she had attended Guilford College in North Carolina. After her degree, she taught school in Blanding, Utah (has about 202 residents compared to the 200 in Bluff) and met her husband there. He is from the Navajo tribe as is the brother-in-law who runs the gallery and has his work shown there. Talk about a small world!
We visited monument valley, Valley of the Gods, and Natural Bridges during our stay their, They were all breathtakingly beautiful, but I enjoyed the Valley of the Gods the most. It is so aptly named. We drove on non-paved surfaces through tight curves and over bumps for about 2 hours through this scenic sandstone valley. At every turn we saw these amazing sculpted rock formations. Look for pics in next post.
