Solstice in Chaco and a little Hovenweep

Pueblo Bonito - the largest Great House in Chaco

During the morning of the winter solstice, the rays of the rising sun shine through this second story window in Pueblo Bonito and strike the opposite corner of the room behind it.

Even though the window was "technically" within the building at one time, there was probably a small hole in the outer wall that allowed the light to pass through.

Farley takes a pee. Obviously no respect for the magnitude of our discovery...





Lou finds a bone.

Bring Back the Stache!

Murray grows a mustache for peace.



But when he sees this, he'll kill me...
