Moving the web site

We are moving the web site to a new location on the internet. We have decided that it does not make sense to pay for the MobileMe service when most of the services that we get are offered around the internet for free.

So the blog is moving to: http://thecrawfordsinaz.blogspot.com and the photos will be at http://picasaweb.google.com/srcrawford

All of the blog posts and a lot of the photos have already been moved over. This site should remain available for most of April.

Please make a note of these changes.

There is a hole in the rock



This past weekend we went hiking in Papago Park in Phoenix. Papago Park is located in Tempe and Scottsdale as well, and there is talk about a grant being issued to develop the park into something grand like NYC’s Central Park.

Papago Park is home to the ancient The Hole in The Rock, a formation where nature has literally carved a hole in the rock. It is believed that the Hohokam people used this formation as a solar clock a thousand years ago. Today, you can walk up to and through the hole.

We spent the rest of the day hiking throughout the park, hiking around and over the buttes. It is amazing to find such a beautiful desert landscape in the middle of such a large metropolitan area.

We have uploaded some pictures in the AZ fun album of the day.
