I injured my ankle yesterday, so in the last 3 days I have only walked 11.39 miles, missing my 10,000 steps goal for the first time yesterday. I'm afraid I am going to have to take it easy for the next few days and let my ankle heal before I pick up my pace again.
The progress on the mapped route to Washington D.C. takes us as far as the Gila River Indian Community. The reservation was established by an act of Congress and has a number of interesting sights to see.
Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, a four- story pueblo built by the Hohokam Indians in the 13th century. Along Interstate 10 at the Casa Blanca interchange is the Gila River Indian Center, they sell the finest selection of Southwest Indian arts and crafts including pottery, basketry, jewelry, carvings and paintings. The center also contains an excellent museum and restaurant/coffee shop. Gila Heritage Park features self-guided tours of traditional Indian homes from the Pima, Maricopa, Papago and Apache tribes. The annual Tribal fair "Mul-Chu-Tha," with it's parade, Indian dances, All-Indian Rodeo, arts and crafts, and food sales held in February in Sacaton.The events are very popular with tourists and residents.
