Space Capsule


On display at Meteor Crater in Northern Arizona is an Apollo Space capsule used for training astronauts at the Crater. From 1964 through 1972, the U.S. Geological Survey and NASA provided extensive science training here.
Astronauts still train here today.

Meteor Crater

The other big hole in the ground in Northern Arizona is Meteor Crater. From this picture that I took, it's hard to tell exactly how big the crater is. To get an idea of it's size, you could fit twenty football fields on its floor and it is sixty stories deep. 


To get a better idea of the size of the crater, I took a picture of a picture in the museum of a view from the air of the crater with the road, parking lot, museum and other buildings on the rim in the lower part of the picture. 

The picture above is of the largest fragment of the meteor that was found. 
This large fragment is on display at the museum.

Old Wagon

This wagon is at the Hubbell Trading Post in Northern Arizona. I guess you could say this is an early RV. I can only imagine how uncomfortable it must have been to cross the county in one of these.

Road Block

While traveling in Northern Arizona across the Hualapai Tribal land on the road to the Havasupai Tribal land, we encountered a road block, with police cars and police dogs and policemen, one of which was our oldest son.
Happy Birthday Roger!
