Another nice
morning here on the West Dolores River. Maggie and I took an early walk looking
for a bear but we didn’t see one.
Supposedly one was seen yesterday. I have been looking for a bear all
summer with no luck. We decided to go to Mesa Verde today. Its been 20 years
since we have been there. There have been lots of changes since then. You now
have to get tickets for all the cliff dwellings. We got there about 10:00 am
and most all the tours were sold out for the day. You can buy tickets two days
in advance. We chose to just drive on up and look around and not worry about
the tours. If we want we can come back another day since we are not far away. It
is really a great drive to the top. It’s a 20 mile climb with several places to
stop and look at the views. We looked at the Tree House and The Cliff Palace.
We also checked out the museum. There had been a couple of fires since we had
visited before. The last one was 2002 I think. The grass and small bushes hav
grown back but the trees are slow coming back. We headed back home and chilled
the rest of the evening. We had a few evening showers but overall it was very
nice.
