No Turd Monday, but Lots of Cliff Dwellings

Item: Water was considered a critical.commodity for the inhabitants of the Walnut Canyon cliff dwellings:

I learned today, however, that Walnut Creek rarely runs anymore, as the water is impounded for the city of Flagstaff.

I guess water is still a necessity. Too bad we can't share it with, you know, nature.

Anyway, lots of ruins today.

Tuzigoot we also visited today. Ruins on a hill, reminiscent of an abandoned stronghold I visited in France (Montsegur)

 Similar vibes at Montezuma's castle.
