Day 12 - June 17th

 Went to Arches and the
Canyonlands National Parks.






















 Had a wonderful campsite in Canyonlands.  Met a family from Germany.  The daughter was here as an exchange student for the year.  Her parents decided to come pick her up and take a trip around the country.

Day 11 - June 16th

 Sorry, days seem to blend together.  I was off count and should be on track now.  It sure would make it easy to have high speed internet each day.
 Off to Mesa Verde.  A place where the indians lived in the sides of the cliffs.  They farmed on top of the mesa.  I would not have lasted here.  Using ropes and ladders to get down the cliff to my home?  This trip has been a challenge for someone who is afraid of heights.



Wild horses.


Spruce tree house.  Not as high as some.





Left Mesa Verde traveling to the Arches and Canyonlands.

Day 9 - June 15th

 Traveling from camping in Ouray to Silverton, Colorado.  Wonderful mountains and landscapes.

Still some leftover snow.







The One Hundred Year Old Mine.



The miners bunkhouse.




The western town of Silverton.



Ethan in trouble.  


Another spectacular view.
