Mesa Verde Mountain Camp

Four beautiful 80 degree days, and 38 degree nites camping in Mesa Verde!! Climbing up and down canyons, up ladders 32 feet high with nothing but 2,000 feet of canyon behind us -- the awe of being inside these ancient dwellings was an experience worth every bit of imagined hardship (and sheer terror, if you are afraid of heights like me [E.])!!!! We studied the star charts by day and by our campfire and the light of the half moon found Ursa Major, Cassiopeia, Arcturus and Draco the Dragon.
