Ok back to: And I Thought Willows was Rural...
At least until I went to Tuba City, which where i am now (Shiprock NM) makes where TC appear to be a thriving metropolis.
I drove 8hrs over the last 2 days through northern Az and NM only to realize there really isn't much out here.
Apparently Shiprock is so named for a nearby rock formation that looks like a ship. I saw said rock today and did not realize it was the namesake of these village (is there something smaller than a village). I googled shiprock so I could tell you the population and that's how I learned about the rock. So if you want to see the rock just google shiprock. Let me know if youre impressed.
Anyhoo - so the population is 8,000 - wait so what am I talking about being so rural?! Willows has fewer ppl than that. Well those 8,000 ppl are spread over 5,000+ square miles! Not a very dense population.
I have yet to find actual town! I've found the medical center but no town and I have yet to find this elusive McDonalds with free wifi.
So my first honest impression -not great. The scenery isn't even nice to make up for it. It's just flat open desert.
I hope the job part is good.
The redeeming qualities (or glass half full) side of SP:
1: it's only 30 mins from farmington which is 40,000 people big, has a mall, movie theater, wal mart, target, etc
2: the hospital is a very nice facility.
3: I can't remember the 3rd thing, maybe it's the McDonalds I have yet to find? I'll let you know if I Rene Ed or discover more treasures here.
Hello- culture shock!
