In the interview, Harry talks about some of his more recent efforts to get a highway built in the Four Corners and Monument Valley area. Harry had heard that Lew Haas and Hal Jackson of the Phoenix and Flagstaff Chambers of Commerce had received Federal funding for highways, so he went down and convinced them to spend some of it on a new road to the valley through Four Corners, the highway that became Route 160. This route is also one of the few highways that pass through the Navajo Nation.

Harry talks about helping to coordinate the funders and the locals, especially the Navajo on the projects, and describes negotiating with government and local officials. His main impetus for getting this road built was to create a direct route to the valley to encourage tourism. He says the new road made it much easier to get in and out of the valley, and tells a few stories about some of the terrible roads in the area.

Harry also talks about all the areas in the Four Corner states that have been made into national parks; wishes there was one road loop that could take you to all of them; and says he thinks of Monument Valley almost as a national park even though it’s a tribal park.
