You just get used to driving in the middle of no where and learn to pick up landmarks along the way. I have to find oil and gas wells out in the middle of no where daily. It can be easy to get lost but it’s not too hard to get righted as long as you can recognize the land marks.

That is such an awesome picture!!! I don’t actually live in Farmington I’m about 12 miles west right on the border to the Navajo nation off of 64.
The drive from here up thru teec nos pos, and Kayenta on to monument valley is a nice drive. Sometimes we go up thru aneth and come in that way. The mesas above the San Juan coming from aneth are pretty spectacular. They look like a rattle snake weaving around the river.
