In the background is the ball court, where they used to play a game that seemed to me a combination of football, rugby, and basketball....
The "blowhole"
 |
| From August 2011 |
This is a crack in the earth's crust that "breathes", for lack of a better word. Depending on air pressure, the hole either breathes cold air out, or sucks in air from the atmosphere. On this day it was blowing out, and the air was as cold as any air conditioning. Talia had great fun letting her braids float over the grate...
I wish I had taken a picture of the little information plaque that was there. No one knows if there is a connection between the Native Americans building this large settlement at this blowhole, or if it's just coincidence...or what it was used for.

After our long drive and hikes, we were all dirty and starving. We got cleaned up a bit, and headed to a local steakhouse with an interesting twist...
Black Barts.

The waiters and waitresses don't only take orders, they also all sing...sometimes solo, sometimes big group numbers...it was so much fun!

The ambiance was great!

And the food was pretty good too. We enjoyed a relaxed evening, and then headed back to prep for the trip home in the morning...
