In the afternoon we traveled to Mesa Verde. There, we saw the remains of the Puebloans that lived in the area thousands of years ago.

Good morning, Mesa Verde National Park!
October 21, 2020 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 43 °F
Time to catch up on our footprints...and there have been quite a few over the past day.

We got up well before dawn again to catch the sunrise in the park. I'm loving national parks at night and in the early morning! In addition to the gorgeous sunrise, we encountered quite a few four-legged friends and we had the park to ourselves for the first 2/3 of our visit.

Here are a few of my favorite early morning pics...the amazing Pueblo sites will be in the next footprint. Stay tuned to this bat channel for more of Cyn & Cheryl's Amazing Adventures on the Road to Florida!Read more

Mesa Verde NP is SO! COOL!
October 21, 2020 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 45 °F
Famous last words, "We'll just poke our heads into Mesa Verde NP and hit the road quickly". We had a long day planned and lots of ground to cover.

So, about 4 hours later, we staggered out of Mesa Verde with our spirits and brains filled to the brim with awe and amazement. It was fascinating to see what the Pueblo ancestors achieved with the tools at their disposal. Palaces and temples carved out of the cliffs! Just imagine what it took to manage such a feat!

I threw in another fun driving video as you get to see both the twisty mountain road and the amazing landscapes.

So long, Mesa Verde and thank you for your gifts to us all!Read more
