Mesa Verde National Park
On Friday we spent the morning touring the ancient ruins at Wetherill Mesa. It is accessed by a gnarly 12 mile road that can't handle RVs and tour buses so it was quiet and peaceful. The Step House ruin is especially cool. It's been so hot that even though our campground was at 7,000 feet above sea level, at night we didn't even need to get inside our sleeping bags. Just at sunset we saw Jupiter and Venus right next to each other in the southwest sky. They're very bright so even if you live in an area with lots of light pollution you can still check 'em out.

I love Mesa Verde. Aurelia, your cousin was a baby when her mom carried her in a backpack up the ladder of one of the magical, ancient dwellings. When her mom realized how perilous that was, she thought better of it and didn't undertake that again.
