Here’s an interesting tidbit from the Associated Press:

U.S. Rep. John Salazar’s deputy press secretary, Edward Stern, says the congressman is working on crafting a bill.
President Harry Truman in 1949 signed legislation protecting the archaeological rich area, which contains ruins thought to be the northernmost settlements of the Chacoans, a Native American tribe from New Mexico.
The site is best known for its two asymmetrical rock spires where the full moon rises as seen from some of the ruins on a regular cycle of 18.6 years.
Amy Cole with the National Trust for Historic Preservation was meeting with residents in the area this past week.
