Day #11: A detour we decided to embark on merely a couple of hours before we encountered it, seeing the Medicine Wheel was a surreal event for me. We were actually hoping to rush to it and back so we could find a hotel early. The 1.5 mile walk (rather than drive) to the sacred site allowed visitors to feel the mountain and the forces that acted upon it. Everything around me quieted when I turned the corner and saw the wheel. I could imagine every stone deliberately being chosen and placed. Every ornament had been carried the same 1.5 mile I had just walked to represent a hope and a prayer for better life ahead...
