Look closely and you can see our target destination--three turkeys painted on these pristine ruins. This was a wonderfully intact site, though most of the turkeys we saw were two legged ones, as we were hiking with a dozen young elders. Actually, they weren't turkeys; they took very good care of the 12 senior missionaries, making sure we didn't get lost on the trail and even rescuing a few who got slowed up by the climb.
Of course, the elders had plenty of energy for playing hackey sac both before and after the hike!
This shows the remains of an old hogan discovered along the trail. Corey Wauneka (our gem of a convert) joined us on the hike and had a great day getting acquainted with the elders. Here are our current favorite Ganado Elders: Kundis and Carlston with Sister Wilcox & Corey.
There was only one of the senior missionaries to go up to the ruin, Elder Eagan, and he came prepared with a stout cord for getting up. It was about a 3-4 miles hike and we saw some beautiful patina rock walls, as well as the ruins. We met afterwards for a potluck cookout in Chinle. A great day!! Then we rushed home to entertain and teach 11 people for home evening. When does the fun stop!
