Change in plans...again!

I did not take a single photo today. I sat in a car repair place from 8 am until 6 pm, minus an hour or so eating/reading at Denny's. I have decided that New Mexico and my Jeeps do not go well together at all. Every time I take a jeep into New Mexico, something bad happens to it. I lost an entire day and had to drastically change my plans for tomorrow. I am FINALLY in Utah! I skipped several smaller lesser known places I had planned on going to today. Perhaps, I will make my return to the area soon.


However, I couldn't not post a photo. So today's photo is from Mesa Verde NP. This can be seen directly after turning into the park. I thought the snow and sky made it look super majestic.

Cliff dwellings

Never fear, I am here for Super Park Saturday. I am posting just a tad bit early, but wanted to get it in before I hit the road again. Just a reminder, that all public lands are welcome in the SPS posts. I had to change all of my plans at the last minute and take another route into Utah due to some snowy passes in Colorado. I had to take a southern route, but it ended well as I went to Mesa Verde today. What an amazing park! It has spectacular views and not just of the cliff dwellings, although those are what I am posting today. The anthropologist in me had to come out and so today you get cliff dwellings.
