Meteor Crater

We finally got to the Meteor Crater. It’s located about half way between Flagstaff and Winslow. Once we got through the museum and actually got to see this destruction that a rock falling from the sky could have on earth, it was jaw dropping. It was suggested that this meteor was about half a football field in diameter and it created a huge 2-mile whole in the ground. Another interested fact that was stated in the museum was that NASA actually brought its astronauts to the meteor site for training. The reason being because it would resemble the physical aspects, minus the whole gravity attribute, that they would eventually experience on their trip to the moon. So if you ever expect to go, just be prepared to shell off $15 for the viewing of the United States largest pot hole!!
