Day 33 On To The Ruins
Wednesday, February 2 – Friday morning we got up bright and early to head out to the Wupatki ruins. We had to go by Cameron and stopped there for a rest and to look the gift shop over. This is truly the biggest tourist trap gift shop that I have even been in. Walter was thrilled to see the Indian ruins and here are shots that the two of us took. As you can see this is a rather large one and has both a ball court and a community gathering circle with seating. The brochure said that the rangers actually used to live in two of the rooms in that biggest house. This is a place that would photograph a whole lot better in the morning; too much glare. We drove to the Sunset Crater next. You could see a huge old lava flow that reminded me of Hawaii. It is chilly in Sedona tonight. Supposed to be around 17 degree tonight and tomorrow night. I heard that there is a freeze warning for Phoenix. Guess we are lucky, considering what east of us is getting.

The ruins look like they would be a great place to visit. It’s cold here too but it is finally warming up. It’s supposed to hit 35 today!
