Our third and last ratation on the reservation is to Inscription House, the Bluesalt Branch, off highway 98 towards Navajo Mountain.  No one would know where this place was, unless they were told to come here.  It is not on the map anywhere.  No road signs direct you here, arriving here is probably by accident if you are a [...]
