With around 105 total guests throughout the weekend, we had guest speakers from the Forestry Service, a talk about the history of the Dons, the story of the Lost Dutchman Goldmine as told by Greg Davis during our annual Discovery Camp as well as a few others. Thank you everybody for coming and sharing your amazing stories by the fire with us.

May Dons Club Outing Several Club Members met at Wupatki National Monument where there are dozens of ancestral Puebloan villages. We visited 2 Pueblos Wupatki & Wukoki Though silence reigns today, this place was once a bustling hub of trade and life. People of the Northern Sinagua, Cohonina, Kayenta, and Hohokam archeological culture groups planted corns, beans, squash, and cotton among these seemingly barren hills and washes. Where many now see only dirt and hear only wind, ancient Native American people lived, raised children, and thrived. Wupatki is not as silent as it seems. Walls can talk, and if you linger long enough to listen, these teach many lessons.

May Dons Club Outing after lunch we stopped at Sunset Crater the lava flow lies on the land like a dream, a wonderland of rock. A thousand years ago the ground was torn open, and lava erupted into the sky, forever changing the landscape and the lives of the people who lived here. A thousand years later, trees and flowers grow among the rocks, and people visit the lava flow to see and remember the most recent volcanic eruption in Arizona.
