The Grand House, Casa Grande Ruins National Monument <i>Pretty impressive for a house made of Caliche!</i> We went to Phoenix yesterday to an RV show, doing a little house shopping. Went up there on the freeway, decided to take the backroads home and came across this. The Casa Grande Ruins National Monument is a park ran by the National Park Service to preserve and protect an Ancestral Sonoran Desert People's farming community and "Great House" They've got a real nice museum with some interesting exhibits but the outdoor grounds are the real star of the show. This "Grand House" was built with mud and caliche and without the help of any modern machinery, just human labor. Not nearly as big as the Pyramids of Giza but still pretty impressive considering what they used to build it! Many probably don't know what caliche is so I've given you a link if your'e interested: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caliche" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caliche</a> There's a lot of it in New Mexico and when they say it's like trying to dig through concrete I would have to agree! Here's a link that tells a bit more about the park: <a href="https://www.nps.gov/cagr/index.htm" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.nps.gov/cagr/index.htm</a> It was and interesting place to see and they do have some real nice covered benches for your picnic lunch. Add to that the FREE admission and you've got a deal you can't beat!
