He ain’t the first and won’t be the last.
Yeah.

I heard from a friend who heard from a friend that @Dirty D was the illegitimate redheaded stepchild of Larry Flynt.

Now there's celebrity status right there.

Makes a lot more sense now that I think about it ?

Why not, no one else (in their right mind) will claim me.
 
The Four Corners area is home to the Navajo Nation. One of the gems of this region in Canyon de Chelly National Monument.

"Chelly" is pronounced "Shay". The canyon has two major arms that drain towards the west. The southern arm has two impressive sub-canyons.

I've spent more time in the southern canyon but while we were on our Social Distancing Tour 2020 last week, we swung by the northern canyon to check out the Mummy Cave area. I was blown away. I've been trying to learn how to take larger and larger multi-row panoramas and the Mummy Cave Overlook was a chance to go ape shit. I took 8 rows of images, each 35 shots wide. The composite image was 55 feet wide by 25 feet tall at 72 dpi. Shrinking it down to page width takes away most of the fun:

But when you zoom in, the fixation of large montages starts to justify itself:

And then, zooming further in:

I'd like to check out the Mummy Cave ruin up close but the Navajo are very private people and they are very protective of their land. You can hire them for jeep tours of the canyon and I'm tempted to check it out.
