This is trip 15, in 2015! We arrived in Phoenix (AZ) on March 25th and traveled North and East, taking in Jerome, Mogollon Rim, Zuni (NM), El Morro, Farmington, Durango (CO), Ridgway, Black Canyon NP, Breckenridge and Golden. Moving North from there we have been to Fort Collins, Laramie (WY), Cheyenne, Fort Laramie, Chadron (NE), and on to Custer (SD) to explore The Black Hills, as far North as Devil's Tower (WY). From there we have driven East to Dreadwood,then on to pickup our mail in Box Elder before exploring The Badlands NP. We have been to the capital Pierre (SD Capital), before driving North up the Missouri to Bismarck, the capital of North Dakota. We have finished towing by driving via Fargo and Sauk Centre to Minneapolis, where we will clean and store the rig, ready for us when we return for Trip 16 in the Fall (DV). On this trip we have towed the trailer just over 2800 miles.

Visiting Pueblo Villages

Salmon Ruins
Sunday was a quiet day for us, just a visit to Golden Corral for early tea.
Monday we drove the two miles to Salmon Pueblo. This was one of the satelite Pueblos to Chaco, built around the same time. It was interesting as it gave us some idea of what to expect at Chaco. It was very quiet and just about able to accomodate Sally and her electric chair. We spent an hour or two wandering around the ruins, working out the difference between Tower Kivas, Big Kivas and other Kivas (they are all circular constructions in stone used in worship by the Puebloans). Now we are ready for the Big One - Chaco!
