chaco culture national historical park

26 august:  i've been wanting to see chaco for a long time,  and it did not fail to meet my expectations --- part of the larger chaco culture world heritage listing --- one of the more inaccessible nps units, with routes into the park varying from "very rough to impassable," including several miles of washboard road out of a total of 21 miles of dirt road into the park from the east ---

 a whole lot of open range around chaco and all over new mexico ---
