Touring Monument Valley on the Ten Penny Nail Trail

Ron's Rig

Ron, Doug & Gary parked their rig at Oljato Trading Post and rode into history on the trail they decided to name the Ten Penny Nail Trail, a true western experience. Their vintage clothing and gear earned them the name Alabama Outlaws. They actually turned out to be adventurous tourists and great riders.

Camping in the snow


After they trailered their horses 1900 miles from Alabama, Ron, Doug, and Gary did not let a snowstorm stop them from enjoying camping out in Monument Valley, west of Oljato Trading Post.

 

 

After riding down Copper Canyon, Ron tried his luck at fishing. His custom made vintage clothing, hats and spurs added to the drama and atmosphere.

A good trail dog is essential to a trip on The Ten Penny Nail Trail. The Ten Penny Nail Trail was determined to be steep, scenic and great fun by The Alabama Outlaws. By Doug's estimate, it's about a 100 mile drop down to Lake Powell.

The Outlaws are keeping in touch with Oljato Trading Post and should be back soon for more adventure.
