Beautiful Drives

The last couple of days we have been on a few very nice drives. We went northwest from Santa Fe through the desert and Navajo Indian Reserve to four corners monument. While I have gotten quite familiar with deserts over the past year this drive took us through some very incredible scenery. The area was anything but flat with great mountains in vibrant browns and reds speckled with dark greens. Four corners was less than exciting but offered a spectacular view of 4 states. I can now say that i have been in 4 states (NM,CO, UT, AZ) at once...can you??

We continued on from nothingness to more nothingness while climbing into Mesa Verde National Park. We went hiking and say some cliff dwellings as well as petroglyphs.

Today we drove through some mountain range in the Rockies which has been compared to the Alps. It was a very nice but white knuckle drive. up and down and round and round. Well I am off for now...we are in Montrose safe and sound all limbs attached.

Peace
