Chaco Canyon, Its World, and Ours

About

I think of this blog mainly as a place to synthesize and present my thoughts about Chaco Canyon.  Over the course of the months I’ve spent in the canyon, I’ve read, seen, and experienced a lot, and this is a place where I can put all that together, consider what it means and whether and why it matters, and put my conclusions in front of an audience potentially much bigger and more diverse than the few hardy souls who make it to Chaco in person.

This is something of an experiment, and it will undoubtedly change and develop over time.  I welcome questions, comments, and discussion about both the site itself and the content of the posts.  For this to really work out as planned, it needs to engage the reader actively.

That’s more or less the idea of this site as I see it.  Thanks for stopping by.
