      Day 49

      Mesa Verde

      September 24, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      Die Route führte uns nun weiter Richtung Norden nach New Mexico, wo wir an der Route 66 nächtigten und Santa Fe besuchten. Nächstes Ziel war der Mesa Verde Nationalpark. Zum ersten Mal begegneten uns hier leicht herbstliche Farben. Die Aussicht war wieder atemberaubend und ließ sich mit der Kamera nicht gebührend festhalten.
      Lang war die Wanderung diesmal nicht, da wir zur Mittagszeit unterwegs waren. Dennoch hatten wir einige Höhenmeter oder besser Höhenyards zu bewältigen, weshalb wir froh über ein paar schattenspendende Bäumchen waren.
      Auf unseren Fahrten begegnen uns auch immer mal wieder politische Statements, die sich manch einer in den Vorgarten pflanzt. 😅      Read more

      Day 28

      Mesa Verde National Park

      May 1, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

      Today we woke up in a National Park, so it was nice to be able to start our day trip without an hour or so drive to the destination. We let Brandon sleep in, and the rest of us saw deer hanging around 2 campsite away.

      It was a cold night, but it would have been colder if the clouds didn't cover the Sky. We were all dressed pretty warm so we didn't wake up freezing.

      Our first stop was back down the mountain 6 miles to the visitors center to get Brandons junior ranger booklet.

      The hikes here are all very long and there is really only 3 hikes that we were able to do with the kids. There was a lot of stopping and getting out of the car to see the pueblos, pit houses and cliffs dwellings. The day started out cold and windy but warmed up enough to wear jumpers and not jackets and the wind relaxed.

      The cave dwellings are impressive. We didn't go on any of the guides tours as they were all an hour plus and didn't think it was going to be a great idea with the kids. We did watch a 25 minute introduction movie at the museum and both kids sat through it all. Brandon answered his questions in the junior ranger booklet from what he learned at the museum. Brandon got another junior ranger badge to his selection at the end of the day.

      Near the end of our visits and a 45 min back to the tent site, we saw 5 deer grazing on the bushes next to the road.

      Brandon got to scooter a bit and we all had a nice walk to the general store after our dinner of pasta and cleaning the dishes in the sink in the heated laundry area.

      It's an early night tonight, as its getting windy and most nights kids aren't in to bed until 9pm each night.      Read more

      Dag 10 – eerste sheepwagon

      August 21, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      (We hebben de afgelopen dagen weinig internet gehad, maar dit zou nu beter moeten zijn, dus verwacht maar enkele updates snel na elkaar)

      Na onze ietwat bewogen nacht in de tent, kregen we weer een heerlijk ontbijt van onze coyoteloving cowboys: spek, ei en wentelteefjes. Voor we het wisten, waren we de nacht al vergeten.

      Om het goed te maken dat we in een tent moesten slapen, kregen we een gratis toer door bergen op enkele van de 30 (!) paarden die ze hebben op hun boerderij. Sean maakte twee vriendelijke paarden klaar voor ons en daar gingen we, zonder ervaring, achter Sean de bergen in. Het was eerst wat wennen, maar eigenlijk best leuk om zo de omgeving te verkennen. Enkel toen we even in galop gingen, voelden we ons als een kleine stuiterbal op het zadel. Eva heeft er nog een pijnlijk poepie van en ik sprak een paar tonen hoger de komende uren. Desondanks: echt heel tof om te doen en Sean had veel interessante verhalen bij over de omgeving en dieren. Weetje: mountain lions zijn niet “klodder formaat”, maar eerder “Nelson-op-steroïden formaat”.

      Het was tijd om afscheid te nemen van onze cowboys en terug op pad te gaan. Het pad leidde ons eerst naar het Colorado National Monument, waar we weer een fijne wandeling tussen de rotsen maakten. Net toen we wilden vertrekken, op weg naar meer rotsen, sprak een vrouw ons aan (Amerikanen praten graag tegen vreemden) om ons de tip te geven om zeker de nabijgelegen mesa (een plateau op een berg) niet over te slaan. Het zou er erg groen zijn, met meertjes, bergen… Dat klonk ons wel goed na een week zand vreten in Utah. Zodoende: hup met onze 4X4 de berg op, vijftien kilometer grindwegen en daar stonden we dan tussen de groene velden en blauwe meren. Gek hoe de natuur zo snel kan veranderen.

      Ook voor de rest van de dag bleef het groen en bergachtig. We reden verder door het San Juan National Forest. Het deed ons wat denken aan Zwitserland, maar dan de Amerikaanse versie. Het was ook één van de eerste keren dat we wat regen hadden en dat het fris was als we uitstapten voor wat foto’s te nemen. Wel eens fijn om zo niet meteen in het zweet te staan als we uit de auto stappen (alhoewel, misschien was dit net het ideale afweersysteem tegen coyotes, die zullen niet houden van zo’n gepekelde, Belgische hammetjes). Geen coyotes hier, maar wel massa’s herten.

      Al cruisend door de groene natuur kwamen we aan op onze slaapplek voor de nacht: een omgebouwde sheep wagon in de tuin bij een ouder koppel die ook nog vier honden, geiten, schapen … hadden. Airbnb heeft soms echt unieke slaapplaatsen en dit was ook weer een topper.

      Méêèh (slaapwel in het schaaps).      Read more

      Canyons of the Ancients NM

      June 11, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F

      After Mesa Verde, we headed to Canyons of the Ancients National Monument.
      The monument's 176,056 acres are managed by the Bureau of Land Management. It is on the southwestern border of Colorado and comprises hundreds of ancient ruins. Only a few are accessible to the general public. We stopped at the visitor center is partially run by BLM and partially by the National Park Service. There were a couple of movies to watch and the ranger gave us a "detailed" route to use the next day for our explorations.

      We found a nice campsite on BLM land for the night.      Read more

      Canyons of the Ancients day 2

      June 12, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F

      The roads were not all that well marked and we ended up on a dirt road for quite a while. And we made it to Hovenweep which is actually across the border in Utah. We took a rather long hike in 95 degree heat around a canyon with multiple ruins. I ended up taking Jay off leash, there were very few people around, she would trot ahead and find shade and then wait for us. It was good to get back to the campsite and chill for the rest of the day.Read more

      Canyonlands National Park

      April 30, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      Zion and Bryce were amazing but Canyonlands National Park was immense. It made you feel how small you are against these massive boulders, mountains and canyons.

      We left Moab KOA by 10am, even though Inara was up at 630am ready to chase wild jack rabbits. Elisa was able to pack up most of the inside of the tent while Brandon slept through it. This is starting to be a theme now.

      We headed South to the Needles area of Canyonlands National Park. Canyonlands is divided into 4 parts. Island in the Sky is the most traveled being closest to Moab, Needles is less traveled and more wild, while Maze District is the wildest area and one of the most remote areas in the nation. The 4th area is the Colorado and the Green river which divide the 3 land areas.

      Most of the day was driving throughout the park and getting on and off. The boulders or mountains before we actually got into the designates park area was impressive and we were on awe. We did a few small walks/trails which were great for the kids. The cave spring walk was awesome as it had 2 ladders we needed to climb and even showed wall art.

      Brandon got his 4th junior ranger badge, of course. The kids were good all day and in the car as well as we had another 2 hour drive or so to Mesa Verde National 2.

      After Canyonlands we made our way to our home for the next 3 nights, Mesa Verde National Park. We are camping in the park where we can see wild animals and be as much in the wild as you want with 2 kids.

      We made it for check in and dinner made at the campsite. The camp ground just opened up a few weeks ago as the weather is cold. It is also bear and mountain lion country. The pamphlets advise to keep all food, drinks (including water) , soaps and lotions in the car so the animals aren't drawn to the tent site. We also need to collect any food off the ground from eating , which happens a lot with a 2 year old, and wash our dishes in dump areas and the dirty flushed in the toilet. The toilet blocks are flushing toilets and t r showers are up the registration area with the small grocery store.

      This may be the coldest tenting of our trip and we dressed the kids in 2 layers of PJs along with sleeping bags. Tonight is the warmest of the 3 nights so we hope we can handle it.      Read more
