Story

After visiting Pipe Spring National Monument, we stopped at Red Pueblo Museum on the way back to camp. I was surprised that the musuem was privately owned and at how extensive the collection of arrowheads and pottery was for an individual. The owner was very nice and fun to talk with and had lots of good stories and info to share.
