We were going to dry camp at Cottonwood Campground in Canyon de Chelly until we remembered the fans in the fridge. They run all the time now until we can get a load switch replaced. The mechanic warned us about dry camping because the fans could r...

Last day here. We went back to Mesa Verde and first stopped at Park Point Overlook (8427 feet). I had worn shorts and sleeveless tee since the temps today were to be in the mid-80s. When we left the car, the outside temp was 60 degrees and the win...

Got out to take my pictures then off to Santa Fe this morning. We could have taken a shortcut up US 285 but thought it would be much more interesting to see Albuquerque, even if it was a drive-through. I lived in this city for three months when I ...
