We were very grateful to be on the last day of our trip by the time we got
up Saturday morning. All we had to see were the Casa Grande ruins!
We did see an interesting fire of some sort, but we didn't get a picture of it.
Here is the main ruin at Casa Grande. The person in the doorway is in as
far as visitors are allowed to go, and the shelter wsa constructed long after
the indians abandoned it.
This is what happens to ruins that aren't protected from the elements.
Here is the athletic arena, abandoned for the comfort of indoor air conditioning.
That was enough site-seeing! We fled home (only grabbing fast food for lunch in Gila Bend).
