Greetings from Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument

Spent Tuesday at Gila Cliff Dwellings. Perfect, gorgeous drive out there. Met several dedicated volunteers. It is a 2 hour drive to the store, no cell service. They are special people. It was very unique in that visitors can actually go inside the dwellings. That is rare these days. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Ann
