On the map, I spotted "Coronado National Memorial" which we knew nothing about, so
we turned off to visit. The sun was setting and it was freezing.

It turns out, it is a mountain pass set aside to celebrate Mr Coronado, a spanish chap,
who came past here following the San Pedro river long before Colombus "discovered"
America
. Coronado and his friends were looking for Cibola - a gold-clad town. What
they found were natives living in mud huts, which was a bit of a disappointment.
