Searching for Val Kilmer (Pecos)

The highlight of the Pecos trip had to be the Pecos National Historic Park with the remnants of a 600 year old Pueblo. It was originally a quadrangle of more than 600 rooms, 4-5 stories high, that housed a village of about 2,000 people. It is an archeological goldmine with much of the foundation of the Pueblo and large portions of the churches built by the invading Spaniards in 1625 and later replaced in 1717. The ruins are at the top of a 7,000 ft mountain that is windswept and eerily quiet. The few tourists there with me didn't speak the entire time we were there. The place commands reverence.
