Arriving in Monument Valley

On Wednesday morning we decided to travel the 25 miles to Monument Valley, so that we could get set up there in order to see the sunset and the dawn actually in the valley. The campground(?) is a flatish piece of land overlooking many of the famous buttes and you park anywhere, but there is no water or electricity. We chose a site quite near the edge of the park, so that we could nicely see Monument Valley from our trailer window, it was perfect until an RV pulls up, squeezes between us and the edge, completely obscuring our view. There was of course plenty of space elsewhere, but this couple had chosen to park in front of us, about 10feet away! Before they could set up we asked them if they would move back a little, quite politely. They said this was the only flat bit (untrue) and would not move. We pointed out that they could move along just a few feet and we could all see the view. They said that they could not understand what we were saying as they were foreign (German). Well we got so angry, Sally called them something quite rude. We decided that we would move, so we re hitched the trailer and moved a few feet up, re-levelled the trailer and set up again, boy were we fuming! They thought this quite funny and made several remarks that were not helpful. We then ignored them. Bah! There are some very selfish people in this world!
Anyway that evening I spent some time taking photos of the sunset. We were at last here in Monument Valley, really the main goal of this road trip.
