New Mexico Meteor Crater

Traveling through New Mexico, and decided to stop for the chilly night. Woke next morning and traveled only five miles down the road to view the "Best preserved" meteor site. A huge hole in which the Washington Monument could stand from top to bottom. Hard to imagine the impact of the meteor at 11 miles per second hitting and creating such a blow! After all, the meteor was only 150 feet wide. You never know where the next interesting site will turn up!
