Washboard Sam (who left us songs like Who Pumped The Air Into My Doughnut (!) and Diggin' My Potatoes), was a blues musician of the 1930s-50s...here though is Washboard Sam Rua, who this day piloted the four of us over the rippled roads of the state's northwestern corner...this is Route 57, south of the fabled site of Chaco Canyon...the way back to Farmington took longer than expected, much to our delight
