Chiricahua National Monument

We had never heard of the Chiricahua's, but glad we know now. Reminiscent of Bryce Canyon in Utah, but not as colorful. We took the 30 mile gravel road through the park - it took us 3 hours! Glad we did it, but would I do it again? Probably not!

Comments from Eldon: After the 3+ hour adventure up and down the mountain, my adventure spirit has been satisfied for now. There is something to be said for asphalt! The "turtle" handled the road (?) great - see above pictures. While parked in a fork in the road, 2 border patrol trucks stopped to see if we were OK. Turns out both vehicles had illegals in the back of their trucks. Shocking to us, as we were 8,000 feet up and in the middle of nowhere and 70 miles from the border.

Comments from Harry: Where in the world were they driving??? It was frightening in my loft - stuff was flying all over.
