... come to the national park and spend a couple of hours on their way to somewhere else. I can't say that our visit was much different, although our day started with birding in an oak forest, the bluebirds are always fun to gauwk at. We took the guided tour at the park and wandered through the ancient dwellings or religious spaces, food storage areas and so on. It feels a bit weird to know you are walking where someone ...

... mountain town that has grown because of the railroad that stops here. We met some lovely people from New Mexico, Lisa and Brad, who camped next to us with their dog and 2 cats. Tomorrow we are headed North along a scenic route through the San Juan National Forest. RVing is the best.<br>

... br><br>Way to go, Cast B 2009!<br><br>After such a sold out show, we are definitely excited for our final Durango performance tomorrow!

... Apparently it happens often :) Her house is quite large but constructed in a neat way. She lives in a passive solar house which is a home that uses the sunlight for useful energy. Her home is like one long hallway with many windows on one side and rooms on the other. The floor of the hallway attracts the sun and uses the energy to heat the home. Her home is a green home (environmentally-friendly) and will be a wonderful place to live ...

Sure I have doubts running through my head about the same telltale issues like culture shock, language barriers, living in a communist dictatorship, and will it be worthwhile at all. You know what, I am sick of those and just want to go and figure it out. I am glad I don't really know what to expect, it makes it that much more ...

The hike started deep in the La Plata Mountains down 9 miles of forest service road and 2 miles of 4x4 road that winds through aspen and pine groves wild with animal life. <br><br>The hike was relatively ...

... is claimed to be the Switzerland of the United States. We stayed at a campground which we've frequented in the past, and went to our favorite hot springs each evening to "soak", which is another name for swimming in a pond that is about five foot deep with temperatures of about 104 to 108 degrees. No worries. Today, we ...

Headed out from Santa Fe and took a relatively short ride up to Durango. Took a while to find the right road to the only listed free (that I could find) national forest site (more careful with NF website directions next time) and, stopping at a hotel to use a computer, find the canyon and arrive after dark.
