We headed east and soon were approaching Monument Valley. The winds were lighter this morning compared to our visit 3 days ago on Friday afternoon. I have flown here many times, and visited it on the ground twice this year and never grow tired of it.
Have to fly > 50 miles away and 3 hours with 10 landings at night.
Among other things, it's hard to judge your altitude at night. Clouds are just blacker spots in the sky.
Black spots on the ground are either airports, or mountains, or lakes/ocean, or rough terrain.
