Mesa Verde

Today we four took a tour of the Mesa Verde cliff dwellings. It is a short drive to the west and then a drive to the top of the mesa. We thoroughly enjoyed taking Ron and Julie to show them these ruins. It was particularly sad to see the damage near the ruins caused by recent forest fires. Fortunately, most of the ruins escaped any damage. We finally got a bite to eat about 2:00 pm and then took the road back to the Alpen Rose.

About 5:30 we four got together with Byron and enjoyed a wonderful fish fry. Ron and Julie fish for walleye up at the Lake of the Woods, which straddles northern Minnesota and Canada. They also brought potatoes and beets they had grown in their garden. So we had a pleasant dinner and were visited by a couple that like to visit old mines with Byron and the couple that manage this RV resort. A fun evening for sure. Happy travels.
