Tuesday 2/13/18 - The big news here in Arizona and New Mexico is a 70% chance of rain on Wednesday 2/14 with possibilities of rain Thursday and Friday. They haven't had any rain since mid October 2017. Pretty dry and dusty around here. Lots of warnings along the road as to what to do if caught in a dust storm, ie pull over, turn off the engine and lights and do not touch the brake pedal. Interesting!

 Casa Grande Ruins National Monument - AZ we visited this cool site that dates back to 1350 AD, The remaining mud structure was a 4 story house located in the center of a compound about 300x300 yards. Although it was vandalized prior to becoming a National Park in 1892, the first archaeological park of its kind in the US. Pretty amazing that a structure almost 700 years old is still standing.






We also traveled a short distance from where we are staying tonight in Gila Bend, AZ to also visit another Petroglyph. I guess we haven't seen enough of them yet.
