Montezuma Castle National Monument



"The ancient ruins of a cliff dwelling called Montezuma Castle provide a backdrop of this photo of Margaret and her bone marrow donor (her brother Raymond). The pre-Colombian Sinagua people lived in this canyon until about 600 years ago, farming and nourishing themselves on crops grown along the stream below. Several times, when walking up to the Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center to visit Margaret during her long in-patient treatment, I had the impression that the hospital was a cliff dwelling like this, a high secure place where people could be protected from approaching threats. If you look at the hospital images shown on earlier posts on this blog, you may see what I mean." -Ken
