Though sometimes the 'Golden Years' seem more like tarnished brass, they are not the end of adventure. I invite you to follow me as I enjoy my days as a full-time life observer. I'll cover life, travel, food, gardening, whatever crosses my path.
Hi Denise - what a wonderful place to have been able to visit, see with your own eyes and appreciate its wonders ... I too would love to visit - whether I will or not is another matter ... so am glad to see your post - cheers Hilary
Great pictures, Denise. Those houses (pueblos almost look comfy!) Have you ever read the book "Thunderhead" by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child? It's a terrific mystery with overtones of the Anasazi. They are two of my favorite authors. Even his nibs likes them, though he's not a reader. I think we have everything they've written.
My husband and I visited (and camped in our tent at) Mesa Verde in 1979. Strange thing, I don't remember the dioramas - I remember walking around the campground and seeing lots of deer just ambling around the roads - it amazed me, perhaps, more than the park itself. Maybe one day, we'll be back. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
I’d love to visit this place because of the history but I know I may not because it is high up and I’m scared of heights

ReplyDeleteThose ancient abandoned stone settlements are fascinating, and so mysterious. We saw some in NM and AZ, but not here. Would like to visit some day.
ReplyDeleteI just watched another show about Chaco Canyon on PBS. I wish I had been able to see it when I was in the area. That place is truly remarkable.
DeleteIf walls could talk, what tales they'd tell. Another really interesting piece Denise.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving all your photos, Denise. Must read more on the subject. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI've read many of their books and not sure how I Missed that one. I put it on the list.

ReplyDeleteThe dioramas are in the museum. There is a ton of stuff in there. It is right next to Spruce Tree House - which is closed to visitors now.
