This morning, we left Utah driving south on Hwy 491 and arrived in Mancos, CO around noon. After lunch we checked into the Mesa Verde RV Resort and headed to the Mesa Verde National Park. This is the only national park dedicated to the preservation of manmade, as opposed to natural, creations.
This was once the home of the Aasazi Indians now known as the Ancestral Puebloans. At first they lived in pithouses and later became clift dwellers.
More hikes allowed us to tour the clift dwellings. We sure are getting our exercise.
We checked out the underground Kiva, which was a gathering place for ceremonies or sometimes a place used for weaving.
Rob exited the Kiva first and just as I was about to climb out, I heard him say to the others standing around, "Watch out, here comes a bear!" They all had a surprised look on their faces, and I thought about pushing Rob off the clift. Then I remembered that I would have to drive the RV back home.

Rob, I hope the front seat of the RV is comfortable because you may be sleeping there for a few days.
Sounds like you guys have had a little too much together time. Keep having fun!
