[Ron] You were in four corners? Get to see mesa Verdi? Out in the badlands of South Dakota I spent some time at pine ridge.
[Krimel] Yeah, we went to Mesa Verde; a truly awesome place. We drove way out to the Hopi Mesas which are about a 100 miles from anywhere. It was torture because they won't let you take pictures on the Mesas but we bought a couple of kachinas from the carvers there. They also invited us to a ceremony which I didn't catch the name or the purpose of. I thought it might be something for tourists but when we got there, there weren't many other tourists but a couple hundred Hopis. I got the impression this was not a commercial enterprise when these guys in deer costumes started throwing produce, candy and cigarettes out to the people standing around them. We also visited Zuni. It is weird because with all that we decided we didn't have time to go to the Grand Canyon. In South Dakota we stayed at Fort Robinson where Crazy Horse was captured and killed under a flag of truce. We spent some time at Pine Ridge and went to a big powwow in Rapid City. There we were invited to a releasing of spirits ceremony for a young man who was killed in Daddy Bush's Iraq War. We got to meet Red Cloud's grandson and lots of other nice people.
