Sinagua

 

A pre-Columbian cultural group occupying an area in central Arizona between Flagstaff and Phoenix, Arizona including the Verde Valley and significant portions of the Mogollon Rim country between approximately 500 A.D. and 1425 A.D. Early Sinagua sites consisted of pit houses and later structures more closely resembled the pueblo architecture found in other cultures throughout the southwestern United States. They survived as hunter-gatherers and as early farmers. The last known record of Sinagua occupation was at Montezuma Castle National Monument around 1425 AD. The reasons for abandonment of their habitation are unknown, but warfare, drought, and clashes with the newly-arrived Yavapai people have been suggested. Several Hopi clans trace their roots to immigrants from the Sinagua culture, who believe their ancestors left the Verde Valley for religious reasons.

Quick drive north of the airport to clean up a few caches that I missed on a previous trip. All is well here. TFTC!

Before I have to go back to Switzerland, FWIA and Harvestmoon2 decided to get some caches around the Denver Airport area. Always a lot of fun on our trips!

Thanks to all the CO’s for placing the caches. Best regards, Izzifix

TFTC! Had to bring my cousins, FWIA and Izzifix up to Denver as they leave for home soon. What does one do on an overnight trip? Need I say more? SL HM2

Ah yes, back in beautiful Colorado with Izzifix & Harvestmoon2 for family time and caching. A couple days left until I head back to Iowa and Izzifix goes back to Switzerland.

Thanks to all the CO’s for placing the caches we enjoyed hunting.

Memfis Mafia and I had plans to get near 1000 caches this weekend in South Dakota. Come Thursday when we were to pick up our rental car from Enterprise they said sorry we do not have a car for you. Even though we reserved one a month in advance. There was not another car in town to rent so we called off our trip.

Today we ran out to get enough caches to finish our Hidden Creatures. We ended up over 100 on the day and about 10% of out plan. In any case this was a cache we got today. Thanks for the hide.

Thanks mondou2 for this Cache. We always appreciate Cache owners for their contribution to the game.

We are on a crazy family mission to get into 5 digits for finds this year. This is find 6753 for us.
