This story is a true-life adventure taken by Wanda and
Terry Eilts as recorded in Wanda's diary.
San Juan Marina near Oljato in Monument Valley, Utah,
was an isolated place in 1987 when the author and her
husband arrived to manage the new marina on the San
Juan River arm of Lake Powell.
They fell in love with the surroundings and the Navajo
people and the culture they encountered.
In addition to the daily joy and satisfaction of friendship
and hard work, the couple dealt with floods and
siltation's, murder and drug-runners, and graft, greed
and corruption.
This is the story of Wanda and Terry's sojourn their and
how they came back to complete the circle many years
later.
