As a part of this rally our group was treated to a special tour of the Verde Valley Archaeology Center and Museum, led by Executive Director Emeritus Ken Zoll and Director, Monica Buckle. Ken Zoll is famous for &#8220;discovering&#8221; sun calendars throughout the area, one of which we had visited that morning at V-V ranch.\u00a0 He was very modest about his accomplishments, which include 3 books on the subject, with another one on the way.\u00a0 We were totally impressed that he got up every morning for 2 years to watch the sun rise at V-V ranch! These are just two of the many pictograph panels at V-V. <a href=\"http:\/\/yourpcgeek.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC1072-V-V-Large.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

activities not usually available during normal visitation.\u00a0 This museum is fortunate to have been the recipient of over 80,000 artifacts from the Dyck cliff dwelling, including numerous textiles from the 1050-1300 CE period, the largest collection in the Southwest.\u00a0 Paul Dyck was a famous artist and preservationist, and he specifically wanted artifacts from the cliff dwelling on his
