Well here we are! Traveling down Route 66, near the town of Winslow, Arizona - - made famous by The Eagles. Sadly, Larry has not YET caved into my pleas for a photo-op of him standing on a corner, waiting for that girl in the flatbed Ford to come rolling by! ;-)
Last night we stayed at the Homolovi Ruins State Park. We had a chance to look around the ruins before the wind kicked up, sending us into the confines of the camper.
It is tragic what has occurred in the recent past to such ruins, at the hands greedy treasure hunters.

Clear evidence bears witness to wanton destruction and thievery of historic treasures. Craters, rubble and pot shards are what is left in the wake of vandalism and a violation of these remnants of cultures that showed such profound respect for their surroundings
. It certainly has made us pause and reflect.........
