Meteor Crater

What can I say?  I have wanted to visit this since I saw the 1980’s movie “Starman”.  And I am so awed by it.  For context, the crater could hold 20 football fields and all of the attending audiences.  It is the best preserved of all of earth’s impact craters and still provides home to much scientific research.  Note the snow and me obviously shivering in the cold.  And I thought I would be cooking in the heat – silly me, I did not bring gloves, ear muffs or tire chains (did not need but I would have loved the security blanket).

Best my feeble camera could capture

Note snow around rim

Cold but happy traveler
