Did You Know Mesa Verde is on a Mountain?

Yesterday, we learned that Mesa Verde is on a mountain. A big mountain. Upon arrival, we were warned about black bears, so of course we went looking for one before dinner. We did find evidence of some large animal, a bunny, and a little growling dog, but no bears. Maybe tonight...

And now for the featured attraction...
Mom wanted to just post the word "Wow" as a caption to this picture and leave it at that, and while I agree with that sentiment, I'm going to try to get my tired brain to put together a few more sentences for your reading pleasure.

Ok, having thought on that sentence for a few moments while waiting for a picture to load, I am only going to post one thought -- 150 people in an area that big? I only hope we survive the next two weeks in our falling apart RV...

And while I'm still waiting to be able to post a picture, you get to hear some of the saga of our falling apart RV. So far, we have lost screws, had wooden pieces fall off while driving, had the sides of the table seats come out, had the staples pop out of the molding, and you already know about the broken step. Pictures almost loaded now...

It was actually pretty cool today here, probably because we're on top of a mountain. It would be a perfect night to have a campfire, if we had any firewood. It's possible that we'll all just go to bed early, though, as we have had some very long days and very short nights. We're halfway between Eastern and Mountain time, meaning that things can get very confusing for our heads and our stomachs. We just keep eating ice cream every time we get hungry, though, so that's one solution. And now, the picture is finally loaded, so that's all for this post. Later!
