Tuesday: An early morning jeep ride on mostly dirt roads to an 800-year-old Sinagua Native American ruin was the highlight of the day.  What is left of the cliff-dwelling early Americans’ home represents a time when hunter-gatherer people settled in sites around a water source where they could grow limited crops to supplement their hunting and gathering. Every place and everything in the known world was once a long way from here. The isolation, the separation from other groups, determined what they thought of themselves. It would be interesting to know what those earlier residents of this amazing section of America would think of the people who live in their region today.  It is interesting to guess what they might have thought of us.
