Day Eight

You know these are the photos you want to see!

Left Walmart and went to the Walnut Canyon National Monument. There we some cliff dwellings there that we needed to see. They had a nice walk to view them and pretty visitor center that looks just like all the other “National” stuff. Kinda tired of being preached at about how great the indians were. Ugg. I'm not going to go into it. Vacation! It was a pretty canyon!

Just like bears!

My men contemplating the canyon.
Actually, I think they were thinking they were happy I didn't want to walk down there. 

Then we went to Meteor Crater which was wickedly cool! They have a great museum about all the space stuff and meteor and meteorites, and space travel and science! We spent a couple hours there and took the tour of the rim, which was totally worth the walk and the heat. Watched a movie too, on which Jake commented that all the stuff in the movie was what we just read in the museum, which led to a discussion about the way different people learn. Tom and Jake got new hats at the gift shop!

Tom fondling the meteor. He was really excited about this much to the entertainment of the docents.

On the tour!

A rare family shot.

Tom found this awesome lizard!

Stopped in Winslow for some pictures “On the Corner”! 

Then drove on to Show Low, which we found out is mostly retired people. Every place we looked to stay at was 55 and up only! 

Another reason we won't be buying property here.

So we stayed at another Walmart, had dinner at Wendy's, and bedded down for the night. This was a fun one because we had some neighbors that included Walmart trucks and the hospital was next door with Medi-Vac Helicopter!

Goodnight Walmart!
