Thanks!  If you're not familiar with it, the Crater is fascinating.  The meteor hit 50,000 years ago, at an impact of 29,000 miles per hour.  Almost 4,000 ft in diameter, and 560 ft deep.  (I learned this at the adjoining museum lol).

The Apollo Astronauts trained here from 1962-1970, for the moon missions.  It helped the astronauts learn how to read/maneuver the lunar landscape.

Looking at the photo didn't this get used in Bruce Almightyor whatever that movie was?

I'm not sure about that, but the movie Starman (w/Jeff Bridges & Karen Allen) filmed it's finale scenes there.

you look thinner than the photo I've seen playing sax; is the cane a permanent thing or a temporary one? (Feel free not to respond.)

[JSngry]

I have lost weight since retiring!

The cane is for extra stability in unfamiliar places. Protection against ankle rolls and such.
