John Wayne’s Monument Valley Ride | 2019 Photos
The 2019 Monument Valley Ride was stellar. Another great group of riders. We call ourselves “The Searchers.” During the week, our dress, our thoughts and our tributary toast is to the Duke. God bless him for all the memories he has provided us over the years. And of course a big thank you to the Navajo Tribal Park whose permission these rides would not take place.
