Behind the T-shirt: Meteor Crater Arizona

In February 2005, I drove cross-country with my brother and a Green Giant Little Sprout telephone. We took the mid-southern route along Interstate 40, which is the old fabled Route 66.

Not far off I-40 in Winslow, Arizona is a landmark called Meteor Crater.






















(from meteorcrater.com) -
Meteor Crater is the breath-taking result of a collision between a piece of an asteroid traveling at 26,000 miles per hour and planet Earth approximately 50,000 years ago. Today, Meteor Crater is nearly one mile across, 2.4 miles in circumference and more than 550 feet deep.


Here is a 70's or early 80's souvenir t-shirt from this very place. It is soft and thin and silky and lovely. It may have been touched by aliens or alien dust.

T-shirt available on Etsy here.
