Flagstaff – but all National Parks and Monuments are closed!

We had decided a few months ago that when we headed east we would go north from Casa Grande and visit Flagstaff again.  We were here back in 2000 and saw many of the great natural sights in northern AZ – the Grand Canyon, the Meteor Crater, the Sunset Crater volcanic area, the Wupatki Indian ruins, and others.

Well, the government shutdown has closed all of the natural wonders in northern AZ, right at the time we showed up!  Dang!

We know we’ll be in northern AZ again someday, so we’ll get another chance to see all the great sights here.
