Kit and Carol on the Road

They told us allow 3 hours to do the driving loop through Sunset Crater and Wupatki National Monument. We arrived at the Visitor Center at 9 am and got back to camp at 3pm. Lots to see. No great hikes but lots of short interpretive trails. Sunset Crater reminds us of Central Oregon--but Wupatki is pure Pueblo Southwest. We are overloaded on information--there was an excellent Visitor Center and many interpretive signs. The Volcano is relatively young--exploding about the time (late 1100's) when the ancient pueblo people were here.

This evening we went out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant which happened to be donating 10% of proceeds to an elementary school so there were lots of kids--and no seniors in sight. \

Tomorrow we plan to head to another national monument--Navaho. No idea when we will next have any connectivity. We are heading into the great cell dead zone.
