I just submitted my public comment to keep the protective buffer around Chaco Cultural Historic Park. I was a volunteer there in 1977. BLM gave a seven-day comment period to undo protections. protectchaco.org/over-15000-p...

A photo of one of the Great Kivas in the Chaco Culture National Historical Park in New Mexico. The architecture and amount of stones involved in the building is amazing.

The multitude of rocks that were used in the architecture of the buildings of Chaco Culture NHP in northwestern New Mexico. This is one of many Great Kivas in the park. A must see site. #RockinTuesday #ChacoCultureNHP #NewMexico

It's not until you get up close that you begin to realize just how thick the walls at #ChacoCultureNHP are. Imagine the amount of work that went into building it. Now it sits in ruins, but the people go on.

I stepped into the Wayback Machine and took a visit to 2016. This is an overhead shot of the main complex at #ChacoCultureNHP, Chaco Canyon, #NM.
