We got to Meteor Crater RV Park on Sunday. Our parking spot, weather, satellite and Verizon coverage are all excellent. The park personnel were extremely helpful and friendly.
We met up with our good friend Frank Sunday evening for dinner and on Monday morning walked out to the ruins of an old building that used to be a 'trinket' store on old Route 66. The building is in great disrepair but the bell tower is still somewhat standing and is now holding a huge nest where a family of ravens are living.
Later in the morning we took the 1/2 mile guided walking tour at the crater, which is actually five miles south of the RV park. The tour is included with admission to the facility and it was very educational and enjoyable. They also have a movie theatre, a museum and the prerequisite gift shop at their large facility. The picture above is my best attempt with a regular lens to show the crater.
In the afternoon, we made a brief stop at Walnut Canyon near Flagstaff and then took in a movie, Star Trek, with Frank.
Had some scattered showers and little lightning in the distance this afternoon. We returned to the RV park to be met by a by a power failure for the whole facility due to a failing transformer. No problem in the RV. We simply went to dry camp mode for the evening. Dinner and some TV went off without a hitch despite the power failure which was fixed overnight.
Planning on going back to Walnut Canyon today. This time we will do one of the hiking trails so that we can see the cliff dwellings that surround this canyon.
