Well, this was it....Casa Rinconada at Solstice...6:10 a.m., June 21.

I had traveled over 8 hours (2 extra) while enduring an ill-fated Google-map conundrum, PageRob's grotesque midnight snoring, and worse of all, the defection of my daughter to Randall's camp cooking.

Yet here I stood in amazement (along w/250 others) at the possibility that sunlight shining thorough a hole in a side wall and into an opposite wall's cubby could mean that ancient Anasazi had grasped the knowledge of astronomy. Do I think it's true?? If I may quote "GB"...."well sure, why not?"

It was a great trip with great memories and great peeps...

Chaco is wonderful, and I'm sure I'll be back....
