Casa Grande Ruins

On the way back from Florence, we stopped at the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument.  This 2 square mile area was built and occupied by the Hohokum almost 700 years ago. An estimated 3000 people populated this area at its peak.You can see the foundations of their dwellings and a large multi-story dwelling.  An interesting thing was that they built canals that carried water from the Gila River several miles away to irrigate their crops. Quite an architectural feat for a primitive people.  Ended the day with dinner at P.F. Changs.  On towards Santa Fe tomorrow.  About the frustrations we have had with the TV reception.  Good news - the antenna works and we can get local channels.  However we haven't been able to get Satellite reception at this site.  An ongoing saga.
