Greetings from Flagstaff, AZ, elevation 7000, where we are in the midst of a gully washer thunderstorm complete with lightning, hail, thunder and rain.
We drove over from NM this morning, and stopped at one of our favorite - dang the lightning and thunder just happened simultaneously and the hail is now so loud Tom and I have to shout to be heard inside the Beach House - anyway, at one of our favorite and little known National Monuments, Walnut Canyon. It is about 5 miles east of Flagstaff on interstate 40, but not nearly as well visited as the nearby Grand Canyon. Which really is a shame, since Walnut Canyon has numerous cliff dwellings that can be seen up close from the adjacent trail. Much closer than the more famous dwellings at Mesa Verde and Canyon De Chelly. So that's my little tourist plus for today.
See if you can spot the dwellings from the trail up on the rim.
Hey - y'all just missed Jackie..He was in Flagstaff this morning. On his way to Las Vegas to visit grandkids. Y'all sure know about a lot of cool places. I have never been to the Grand Canyon...will definitely have to talk to the big guy about that. Long ride though.
