10/29 Homolovi Ruins State Park

Arrived here for an overnight stay.  It is certainly flat and isolated here, although actually only a couple of miles from I-40 and Winslow, AZ.  The area looks very much like the area around Meteor Crater--flat and empty, at least to us easterners.  This is the visitor center.

 

I checked into the visitor center and had to chuckle at a couple of signs that were posted.  Apparently, the rattlesnakes enjoy sunning themselves on the stairs and using them as a path, so they have closed them to humans.

 

I will take more photos in the morning.  So far, I have not seen any snakes, but I have seen some birds and a desert cottontail, neither of which seemed dangerous.
