Today we went to Sunset Crater and Wupatki National Monument. Wupatki has ancient pueblo ruins. Sunset Crater is a sacred volcano in AZ.  The native Indians (Hopi, Navajo Zuni) felt that the great spirits lived in the San Francisco Mountains, and travelled to the crater every year [ZH]. I finally saw some arrowheads and a stone hammer. We went to see some ruins in Wupatki National Monument. When we got there, it was SOOOOOO windy. Sometimes when the wind blows, you almost get blown off your feet. My clothes were flapping in the winds. [MH].

  1. Don't get blown away! Sounds like you are having a pretty good adventure so far. What are you guys eating while you camp? McDonalds could produce their own energy if they could figure out a way to harness all the kids energy released in the gerbil cage - I mean, play structure. Continue to have a safe and fun trip! Moll monkeys love you!

  4. I am enjoying your blog about your daily adventures. I know you will have many discoveries along your journey. Did you get to the Cliff Dwellings of Mesa Verde? My daughter was there a few weeks ago and found them fascinating. I wonder if there is a way you can plot your course on a map so we can see you travel across the country? I have never been to the areas you are visiting. Is your mom relaxing?!
