Wow, that Casa Es Grande!

Brain cancer is...

...appreciating humans.

Today was our last non-California stop:  Casa Grande (above) outside Phoenix.  Darrell appreciated human universals like the need for farming to sustain larger populations, the drive to create art, and the need to play. (Casa Grande has a ball pit adjacent to it.)

We also appreciated the humans who, in the 1930’s and 40’s, recognized the need to pursue preservation of this prehistoric community.  (That’s when the above shelter roof was built.)

And we appreciated the humans of today who reburied other ruins at the site in order to study them
with less destructive techniques.  See that mound in the distance?


Reburied ruins.  We humans so often make a mess of things, but at least we keep on trying.

We said hello to our good ole friend, the Colorado River as we crossed back into California.



There you are, Colorado River! You've calmed down and warmed up a little since we saw you last.

Now for some fun a little closer to home.

Happy Leap Saturday, Team D!
