Up and at 'em - from Blanding, Utah:
through Monticello, Utah:
through Dove Creek, Colorado:
through Cahone, Colorado:
through Yellow Jacket, Colorado:
through Lewis, Colorado:
I don't think I can stand the excitement! And we haven't even gotten to the National Park yet! (Wendy is researching a "I Brake For Post Offices" bumper sticker)
Mesa Verde National Park Visitor Center at 10:30
The Park is a drive-through-and-explore-selected-spots type of Park. We drove down and had lunch at the "Far View Terrace", and then headed down the "Chapin Mesa" and explored its end:
We stopped at a cool place called "Navajo Canyon Overlook":
which has a GREAT VIEW of many cliff dwellings on the other side:
Wendy and I had tickets ($5 each, purchased at the Visitor Center) to the 1 PM tour of Cliff Palace, but she wasn't feeling up for it so I went alone (along with 35 of my closest friends):
Then over to Durango, and north on the Million Dollar Hwy:
An awesome view of Silverton, Colorado:
Through a dark canyon:
Then Wendy unpacking at my cousin Tom's in Ridgway, Colorado:
Thank you God for ALL THESE WONDERFUL ADVENTURES!
Driving Music:
William Gibson - Neuromancer (Chapters 15 and 16), 1984 (his first book)
Bruce Cockburn - Stealing Fire, 1984
The Beatles - Let It Be, 1970
Started listening because Wendy said we are on a "Long and Winding Road"
lyrics "Two of Us":
You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead
The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour, 1967
