By Carol: Monday morning found us leaving Durango heading to Mesa Verde, a National Park celebrating the lives of the Ancestral Pueblo Indians and their cave dwellings. We visited one such village which was one of the prettiest “Spruce Tree houses”. We took tons of pictures, the reminds of the village were fascinating; remember that we were in someone’s home.
The one thing that I am really looking forward to seeing is one of those BIG tall cactus with the out stretched arms waiting to reach down and scoop you in a big hug...like Gumby. I did see my first cactus to day when we were leaving Mesa Verde, a little one with blooms on it. Yes I got pictures!!
Heading south through the Navajo desert at 4:30 in the afternoon was probably the hottest GD time of the day…man it was HOT. But the scenery was spectacular. We were actually in the desert, the temp was 92 F. Stopped at the 4 corner monument which is the point where 4 states actually meet, Colorado. Utah, Arizona, New Mexico. That was really cool.
Stopped in a little bar called “Blondie’s Biker Bar and Rose pinned a $1.oo bill signed by the Six west coasters on the wall.
We finally arrived in a town of Kayenta, Arizona…...or better known to us as “Dry Gulch”. The only thing that was on our minds was to get here and find a bar that served the coldest beer possible. NOT!!!! It is a dry town on an Indian Reservation. Good thing we had our stash in the side bags. But the pool was refreshing and got rid of the road dirt just fine.
(note: still no pics able to post.. maybe tomorrow! we promise to make up for it... stay tuned, and love you all... D,B,R,A,T&C)
