From Mesa Verde to Mancos CO

My panorama shot of Park Point

150 rooms...that means a lot of people!

And then back to Mancos to meet our new cousin!

 Becky Baker, my new cousin by marriage.  Her first cousin, Barbara Baker married my son, Marty Heym, last April!

 Kendra, Tai and Becky! And oh those cider drinks! Mine was really powerful!

 The Cider Bar was right next to a river...

 And a cute puppy was moored next to the river...not belonging to any of us.

 The outdoor seating of the Fence-line cider bar.

 All the women were elsewhere and there's Tai sitting all alone!

We only had a short visit since Becky had to go do something in Durango. We arrived home to Cortez to another beautiful sunset.

Kendra is looking out for her home in Cortez, somewhere out there!

 The view of Sleeping Ute Mountain, and I know Kendra and Tai's home is between it and Mesa Verde!

 The firetower which probably has found many fires in the years past. Hope none this year.

 I don't know if Kendra ever found their home. There's another bit of trail that she may go out on next trip to see.

 Hoorah, I made it up the incline, a bit steeper than the one up to Mt. Mitchell in NC, and about 2000 feet higher...though they say this rise from parking lot was just 32 feet (vertically) but I think it was in a shorter distance too.
