Anasazi ruins on the Puerco
The BLM has done a good job of excavating and protecting this ruin, which is on top of a mesa near the Puerco River. This fortress-like structure told all who passed through who was in charge of this particular valley. This place is what the archaeologists call a Chacoan outlier community and is about 60 miles from Chaco Canyon. All who were traveling to Chaco from points south including Mexico would have passed through here. They came up the Rio Grande then turned northwest at the Puerco and just followed it up and then over the Continental Divide. This was a very good spot to pick to live too, which is easy to tell if you visit the place. At the beginning of this video in the immediate foreground you can see a small hill that appears to be carved out slightly on the top. I believe this was a signal mound. You can also see a distinct waterway that drains a canyon leading up to the Mount Taylor plateau. The bulk of the community lived up and along that canyon. At the end of the day this video was made I was near the upper end of the canyon and it revealed to me that it runs directly east-west. I could see the sun setting to the west, going right down between the canyon walls with no obstructions and behold in the other direction a full moon was rising to the east - straight up between the canyon walls with no obstructions. What a place.

White House Ruins at Canyon De Chelly
This is called the white house ruins because one of the old houses is painted white. Another fantastic old pueblo of the Anasazi. This is the only hike within the canyon which you are allowed to go on without an authorized Navajo guide. I camped out at the campground at the start of the canyon and walked all the way to the ruins along the rim of the canyon and then down the public access trail. Absolutely fantastic walking in this area!

Along the Chinle
Eliminator, Benihana, Fudgesicle, and myself make the trek out to the big Chinle Wash Anasazi ruins on the Utah portion of the Navajo Nation. Located along a meander of Chinle Wash where it cuts through Comb Ridge, this ruin is awesome and huge! You can see and read more about this ruin in House of Rain by Craig Childs, as well as Sandstone Spine by David Roberts. Don't ask for directions other than what I've listed above; I'm not going to give it out.
I know this video doesn't have sound; I don't have my microphone hooked up to this computer. I am working on a version with both music and some narration. Hold tight until then.

Tower House Ruin
Max & I visiting Tower House Ruin as a summer thunderstorm rolls in. You do not want to be in the canyons during any chance of rain. But this one just sprung up on us when we were already down in the canyon. It was a light rain and we had already scoped out high ground if needed. This ruin is in Butler Wash near Cedar Mesa in South Eastern Utah. Nice two story ruin. Aug. 9th 2008
