In the high grassland of 14th-century northern Arizona, an ancient people found a home along the Little Colorado River. These people, the Hisat'sinom (known to archaeologists as the Anasazi), paused in their migrations to till the rich flood plain and sandy slopes before continuing north to join people already living on the mesas, people who are today known as the Hopi.
Today, Ginny and I repositioned our RV to this land, two miles northeast of the city of Winslow, Arizona, at the Homolovi Ruins State Park. We will be here until this coming Friday, November 25th. While here, we will explore the Homolovi Ancestral Pueblo and the Meteor Crater. While in Winslow, we will also go look for a man standing on the corner.

“Homolovi” is Hopi for “Place of the Little Hills” — the traditional name for Winslow, Arizona.
