The truth about Farmington, NM is that people actually enjoy living there and some of the local recreation includes beautiful hiking trails, shopping, swimming in the gorgeous indoor pools and camping in nearby Durango, Co. Then there’s always Navajo Lake for boating but the very best is the incredible fly-fishing in the quality waters of the San Juan River, which attracts not only locals but fans from around the world.

Like I said, some folks read too much Hillerman. Tony lived in Albuquerque. Tony made his living by writing from the oppressed Navajo viewpoint.

I enjoyed his books for the picture he painted of the culture, but he wouldn't have made a good FReeper politically.
