Jerry, FYI:

"We made camp at Meteor Crater, one of the many wonders of this wonderland.
It was a huge hole in the earth over five-hundred feet deep, said to have
been made by a meteor burying itself there. Seen from the outside the slope was
gradual up to the edges, which were scalloped and irregular; on the inside
the walls were precipitous. Our camp was on the windy desert, a long sweeping
range of grass, sloping down, dotted with cattle, with buttes and mountains in
the distance. Most of my sensations of the day partook of the nature of woe."
