Re: OT - Dr Who - San Juan School District.

Hi,

I do not know who (as in movie person) "discovered" Monument Valley and the Valley of the Gods. It was one of John Fords favorite settings.

When Palmer created the D&RGW after the D&RG was blocked by the Santa Fe, he built both east to Grand Junction and south to Marysvale and had a location survey run west from Green River to the Marysvale branch (supposedly some small grading was done in the mountain crossing at a point or two where there was room for only one railroad. He was still wanting a narrow gauge from Denver to Mexico City.

Although nothing much was done, the plan was generally to cross the Grand River at Lee's Ferry near today's Glenn Canyon Dam bringing the D&RGW narrow gauge sort of to Doctor Who.
