Meteor Crater, New Mexico and Texas

We stayed the night in Flagstaff, Arizona and were up bright and early Saturday morning. Just east of Flagstaff is a meteor crater that was made about 50,000 years ago. Huge.

To get an idea of how big it was, they have a cut out of a 6 ft. astronaut holding a flag on the bottom. It was really hard to see,and you missed it if you didn,t know it was there.

It brought back memories when you read the names of the early astronauts that we remembered from years ago.

Then on into New Mexico, and lots to look at there.

We took side trips on old Route 66 in both Arizona and New Mexico.

Saw this sign, but not sure...

And then into Texas, with cows, open highways and Montgomery County.

We spent the night in Buffalo, Texas, pretty much had the motel to ourselves.
