Day 11 of 17 (Colorado to New Mexico)

From: Grand Junction, CO
To: Farmington, NM
Miles Driven: 372 Today / 3,395 Total
Miles Hiked: Not Sure / 10.6 Total

Today started with a long drive. It started off driving through mountains. SUPER curvy roads. Despite nausea meds we had 2 kids down.

We went to Mesa Verde to see the cliff dwellings. They were pretty awesome to see. They have different phases too so you could see how the dwellings evolved and grew. However, Jordan found this nasty and huge bug as big (long and wide) as my thumb. Then I noticed the tree it was on was COVERED in the things. THEN we found they were just the husks/shells like the darn things outgrew their skin. How much bigger did they get? It was totally the start of some alien takeover movie.

Next we headed to 4 corners. Aside from saying "we've been there" it isn't worth the visit.  At this point I was also feeling pretty yucky. I think the sun/heat of the day was getting to me. The drive to the hotel was the sort of drive I'm used to driving through Central California. Hot, bare, dry, sort of boring. Yay for audiobooks!
