Lunar surfaces, blazing, "Gone with the Wind" style sunsets, and strange igloos in the desert! Williams, Arizona

Sunsetting over mountains near Williams, Arizona



Venturing home we decided to stop and check-out a place called meteor crater which is a relatively unknown place in Arizona. A meteor impacted this location in Arizona approximately 50,000 years ago....and yes, some scientists do believe that people inhabitated this region at that time (others disagree).
The enomority of the crater surprised us! Along with the knowledge that this is one of the few craters that have been positively identified as being caused from a meteor. Nasa used this area to train Apollo Astronauts to visit the moon. The interior of the crater and the

Long forgotten house-near Williams, Arizona surface at the bottom of the crater are very similar
to the moon!
