Chaco Canyon

becoming more well known but there are still not many visitors and it is one of the neatest things to see in this country.

I am inspired by the architecture of the ancient ones and the way they built with the earth and related everything to the Sun and Moon. On a larger scale the way they oriented this place with other places like Mesa Verde. I was there on a solsctice day when several puelos played their drums and danced. It was powerfull.

Chaco Canyon is a truly amazing place. You have to travel by a long dirt road to get into the place, but once you get there it is definitely worth it.

There is a stillness to the place that I’ve never found anywhere else in the world.

The ruins are incredible. There is little to compare standing in one of the courtyards and imagining what the place must have been like when it was brimming with life.

I intend to be there for Summer Solstice in 2007. My XXth birthday will be just a few days later.

I love Chaco Canyon. It’s off the beaten path, so it is quiet and peaceful.
