4/4/2011

            Guess what happened today, the car wouldn’t go in to gear. Mom thought what if this happened in the middle of nowhere.  We had stayed the night in Flagstaff, but found out the only place they could work on our Sprinter was in Albuquerque, so we decided to drive 400 miles to get the car looked at.  That meant we had to pass up going to see the meteor crater, and Petrified Forest National Monument.  But, we went to a cool museum at Walnut Canyon National monument, where they had ancient arrowheads {MH}.  At Walnut Canyon visitor center, there was an arrowhead straightener, which was made of rock.  We walked around the ruins that were in a canyon.  The ruins we built on multiple shelves around the canyon.  You could walk right up to some, and we saw evidence of their fires (black marks on the ceiling).  It was really cool!  Then we had to make the long drive to Albuquerque. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to the mechanic early enough, so we have to stay here and take Big Red in tomorrow.  {ZH}
