Congratulations...And thank you for sharing your honeymoon photos with us!! Great trip as well as write up, Something you will never forget! we did a similar honeymoon, started in Illinois in my new 1973 VW super beetle, what a blast that little car was! Up to Loveland Colorado, HAHA it seemed fitting at the time, made our way down to phoenix where I fell in love with the Southwest and we have never looked back!! Good luck Newlyweds

Wow. First off, congrats on your union. And you are a very lucky man, the women I have been with in my lifetime would never have considered a trip like you two took a honeymoon, they would have considered it a total hardship (well, at least the camping parts).

Anyways, great report and pictures. It makes me want to hot spring hop. I went through Thermopolis, WY on my way to Yellowstone in 2003, nice town.

I wanted to add to your inticement about the remoteness of the roads in the Sante Fe NF in northern NM, and perhaps Monument Valley. If you truly want to get remote and visit the four corners area (mainly south of it) again, you should visit Canyon De Chelly (pronounced 'canyon de shay') just east of Chinle, AZ, and then go to the White Mountains of Arizona. Those are two 'secret' areas. There are so many roads to explore in the Apache Sitgreaves NF it could literaly take you days, or weeks to do so.

There's a few other spots I wanted to mention that were near your route, but . . . . .

thanks man. Yeah We actually hit Canyon de Chelly another year on the way to mexico, but didnt really get a chance to explore it other than one day on foot. The roads down in the bottoms of the canyons, are those fair game to drive on? It is an amazing place and id love to explore it more. Too many cool places in the world!

No. You have to hook up with a Dine (Navajo) to be able to drive the bottom of the canyon. There are licensed guides as well.
