Did Anyone See That Meteor?

What a difference sleeping in a bed! Warm, cozy, quiet, no rain, no wind. Just how I usually like to sleep!

We had a liesurely morning in Flagstaff, packed up and headed for Meteor Crater, exit 233 on I-40. It is one of the best known and best preserved craters in the world and was the first one to be confirmed as being created by meteor impact, not something else. After a short video and a tour through the museum, we joined a small group for a guided tour around a portion of the rim.

This hole in the ground is huge. I tried to take pictures, but none did the hole justice. We agreed that the whole thing was a bit hokey, but still interesting. Our guide, Eduardo, was an interesting fellow and made the 1 mile round trip tour  entertaining.

After a quick lunch at the Subway in the museum, we head towards Mesa to visit with Anne and Dave.

There are still a few good things to happen in the next few days, even though we're finished with our camping expedition, although time is quickly passing.

Tomorrow we'll tour towards Tortilla Flat etc. We have a personal guide, and so we're guaranteed no to get lost. Tortillas are always flat, aren't they?
