Didn’t fish today. It’s pretty windy yet a beautiful day. Driving back to Colorado tomorrow, so I went grocery shopping in Aztec, Colorado, a town about 20 miles west of my campground, and generally just relaxed. Had a good brisket sandwich in a little dive in Aztec, drove back home (my campground) and had a couple of beers in the breezy shade. Life is good.
Here are photos of each side of the dam, a big footprint.
The face of the dam. You can drive across the top or down the face of the dam to go to the little town of Navajo Dam.
Just below the dam where I’ve done most of my fishing.
The little town of Navajo Dam. Abe’s, the fly shop I got my guide through, is the long cream colored building on the left side of the street. There are a couple more little fly shops and a couple of diner/taverns down there. Nothing else for 20 miles. My campground is two miles to the right. There are Park rangers and campground hosts. I feel safer here than I do driving around at home.
My trailer is in the center. The river is on the other side of the trees.
Abe’s, which I’ve grown fond of. Nothing negative to say about the other shops here. I bought flies and ate at the other places and have no complaints.
