2013 is off to a great start with a wonderful card of Gila Cliff dwellings sent by a Postcrosser (sushigirl) in New Mexico. This ancient site was built by early Puebloans around 1300AD in southwestern New Mexico.This site was likely occupied by families who gathered food in the nearby canyons and were part of the Puebloan migrations. The ruins were found by Americans in the late 1800s and have been a tourist destination since President Teddy Roosevelt created the National Monument that protects the area today. A very nice card to add to my collection!!
This place reminds me of some movie or cartoon I saw many years ago. It is a reference for me, but I do not remember.
