| It can't be helped ~ vehicles on the Reservation put in a long, hardworking life. A brand new car or truck is in for the long haul here. Traveling long distances on ancient roads paved and unpaved, along with lots and lots of dust, dirt and mud, puts your cars and trucks through rigorous tests of endurance. Below are a few photos of the different life stages of chidis, or vehicles, here on the Navajo Reservation near my home.  |

No stranger to a hard days work, this dump truck has earned retirement.

| Still Going Strong |
Shiny new and full of life, with a tired dog enjoying a nap in the sun nearby. (I thought the worst at first, too, but believe me, this dog got up and was very much alive.)
