Homolovi Ruins State Park

 

In the high grassland of 14th-century northern Arizona, an ancient people found a home along the Little Colorado River. These people, the Hisat'sinom (known to archaeologists as the Anasazi), paused in their migrations to till the rich flood plain and sandy slopes before continuing north to join people already living on the mesas, people who are today known as the Hopi.

Today, Ginny and I repositioned our RV to this land, two miles northeast of the city of Winslow, Arizona, at the Homolovi Ruins State Park. We will be here until this coming Friday, November 25th. While here, we will explore the Homolovi Ancestral Pueblo and the Meteor Crater. While in Winslow, we will also go look for a man standing on the corner.

"The City of Coronado"

 

We were on the road by 7:30 this morning, heading down the mountain toward Santa Fe, then south toward Albuquerque.

We got the last site available in the best-kept secret in the Albuquerque area—the Coronado Campground in the Town of Bernalillo—just 15 miles north of the big mess of Albuquerque. $20* daily gets us a 50 amp/water site with a shelter. There's no sewer hookup at the site, but they do have a dump station. There is a 14-day stay limit but we only plan to stay for four days.
(* $20 daily rate is for members of Passport America)

Sightseeing Around Taos

 

Ginny and I had a busy day sightseeing today. First, we went to Taos Pueblo and walked around visiting the few open shops. Taos Pueblo's most prominent architectural feature is a multi-storied residential complex built over 1000 years ago by the Taos-speaking Native American tribe of Puebloan people. The pueblo is considered one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the United States.

After visiting the pueblo, I took Ginny out to Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. She never realized she was afraid of heights until we started walking across the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge. At 650 feet above the river, The Rio Grande Gorge Bridge is the second-highest bridge on the U.S. Highway System and the fifth-highest bridge in the United States.

 

After visiting the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, we drove out to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Angel Fire. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a national memorial established in honor of Vietnam War veterans in Angel Fire, New Mexico. Until 2017, it was a New Mexico state park, and it is now under the Department of Veteran Services. Dedicated on May 22, 1971, the memorial was originally known as the Vietnam Veterans Peace and Brotherhood Chapel and had its origins in a battle near Con Thien, South Vietnam, on May 22, 1968, in which 17 men lost their lives. It was the first major memorial created to honor the veterans of the Vietnam War, and inspired the establishment of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C., which was completed over ten years later, in 1982.
