Out of Flagstaff

The first thing we did on our way out of Flagstaff is stop at the Meteor Crater. Neither of us had heard about this until Cheryl's husband Michael said that we really needed to see it. And he was right. Thank you Michael!

Meteor crater is just that. A meteor had at one time, million of years ago, hit Arizona and left this large crater. It was really neat to take the tour and learn all about the history and the natives in the area and what they thought of the crater. And it was really cool.

Then we went to Petrified Forest National Park. We didn't have a whole lot of time, but it was really neat to see. Hopefully one day we will go back and really take a look at the history and all that went with it.

Next, Socorro, New Mexico and the Festival of the Cranes.
