Enroute Phoenix (Mesa), AZ

We left this morning for Aztec RV Resort. At Eloy we stopped at the Flying J for fuel. Debbie noticed we were only about thirty miles away from the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument.  We parked the Horizon in the back of the Flying J lot and jumped into the Jeep and headed over. 
We planned to find somewhere to stop for lunch on the way and as we drove through Coolidge, we spotted a Sonic Drive In.
Yes the carhops were on roller blades. The food was pretty good and of course the service was fast.
The main ruin has been protected by a covering structure.  It was three stories tall and thought to be used for astrometry as windows align the sun on important dates.

Other structures around the area, that are not protected from the weather, are slowly disappearing.
