We put Stinky Jeep to another highway test today. Our destination was Globe, AZ, and to get there we had to drive east to Superior and then on up over a pass to the mining town of Globe. We had no true destination on this drive, it was just a get out of QV trip.
Once we got going Linda, looked up Globe on her phone and we found that there was a historical site called Besh-Ba-Gowah located right in the middle of town. So we drove on in and paid our four dollars each for entrance.Once again we found a great site with such a grand historic background. The Wikipedia page for Besh-Be-Gowah explains it much better than I could.
Linda and I walked through the museum and watched a short movie about the area's rich history. After that, we walked the ruins and took photos.
The buildings on this site had multiple floors; up to three levels plus the rooftops |
A Ceremonial Room. |
Reconstructed room. |
All pots and artifacts have been unearthed from the various excavations on this site. |
Unexcavated rooms. |
After our tour, we went to a Mexican fast food place and had lunch. Then we headed back to our little home. From what we viewed in the ancient living areas of Besh-Ba-Gowah, the inhabitants had larger indoor living spaces than we do in our camper.
