The Blessing Way (Leaphorn & Chee #1), Tony Hillerman 1970

Started Listening Woman (Leaphorn & Chee #3), Tony Hillerman 1978.

I read all the Hillerman books about 10 years ago. Great stuff! When I was in New Mexico visiting relatives I even toured some of the locations mentioned in his stories.

I've always been a WW2 buff but this book has so much first-hand information I was unaware of before. A must read for others with similar interests.

That would be something. Did you see Spider Rock and Ship Rock? And the four mountains. Finished the series the other week.

If I recall I only made it to Ship Rock, Teec Nos Pas and some of the other adjacent spots. Just not enough time...
I had this map with me:

Folgore 202- That wasn't an article, it was sale listings. I edited it out. Please re-read forum policies and rules. Thanks.

Recently finished up "The Wallace Guidebook: For Emergency care and Survival."

Not bad as a primer. Mainly read it to review on my YouTube channel. My book review playlist gets the least number of views combined. But I cover important topics, so I don't mind.

SCEMan,
Thanks for the recommendation!

I picked this up at the library a couple of days ago, and I am already about 1/3rd through it. I've been thinking that I need to find a good book to read, and I am glad you suggested this one.

This book, like many, lacks maps. It's about 35 years since I read a lot about the War of the Pacific. I need maps to know where these different islands are.

The last book I read was "Survive!" by Les Stroud.
I didn't finish it.
I like his show, and enjoyed the light-hearted videos about surviving the Covid-19. I guess I am over - reading survival manuals.

5s8Zh5,
Earlier you asked about Spider Rock.
In 1999 we took a road trip across the US and back. We stopped at Canyon de Chelly, and hiked most of the way down. Once back up top, I saw a sign for "Spider Rock". It was pretty darn hot, so my wife and daughter elected to stay in the motorhome, while my son and I walked 1/4 mile to the lookout to see "Spider Rock."
Either at that time, or the year earlier, one of the 4x4 truck companies (I don't remember which one) was running a commercial with their truck perched on top of it, so we just had to go and take a look.

It was certainly a sight to see. Previously seeing the TV commercial made it a bit more special. I don't know if they air-lifted the truck up there, or did it with the magic of television, and cgi, but there is no way it could have been driven up there.
