Meteor Crater

At the advice of Poppy, we trekked from the Petrified Forrest, west along Interstate 40 to find the meteor crater.  We arrived at 4:30pm and the place closed at 5pm, so we had some quick thinking to do.  We could pay $120 per family to have 30 minutes of viewing the crater, OR we could send one representative from each family at $22 to FaceTime the rest of us into the experience.  We opted for option #2.

Brett was elected representative for his clan.

Panoramic view of the crater, it really was quite impressive.

Not sure why an Apollo Test Capsule was on site, but it was cool, nonetheless.

As if Brett were on the bottom of the meteor crater...
