Blanding to Dolores...Colorado!! (July 27)

It has now been a full month since we left home.  Charlotte misses home.  I think we all do a little.  I think the dry desert scenery of NV and UT have been wearing on us.  I know John is done with UT!!  As we entered CO the roads became visibly smoother and more like home.  Even the landscape looked a lot like IA with grass, farms and rolling hills.  There were even real towns for food and drinks stops while the guys were biking.  We have had too many days so far were there are zero towns between our starting and ending points. 

Playground fun

This afternoon we all visited Mesa Verde which was only 20 miles away from Dolores.  John and I were there many years ago...we think in 2005.  It was the same trip that we went to the Four Corners and Monument Valley.  Mesa Verde was worth another look.  To think there was a civilization that lived on the cliffs between 700-1200 AD is so fascinating!
