Wetherill Mesa - Long House (10/1/2016)| The big draw for us at Mesa Verde was to be able to see and tour the Anasazi cliff dwellings. One has to get tour tickets at the Parks main head Quarts for a nominal fee. Some were closed however one of the main ones open was the Wetherill Mesa - Long House. These are the pictures from our tour. |

LB & Around Cortez (10/5/2017)| When we have time and there are Letter Boxes available we try to locate them, which we did in Cortez, Co. This day we discovered a LB that was placed in among a fabulous yard art exhibit create by “Muffler Man” or "Tin Man's Fantasy Land". As you'll see we spent a bit of time here enjoying the statues, taking pictures and finding the LB. Also included is a retro pic from town. |

International Balloon Fiesta (10/6/2016)| After we left the Cortez, Mesa Verde area we traveled to Albuquerque for the International Balloon Fiesta held annually. This was our first time going, we had no idea what to expect. We were overwhelmed by the experience and soon became enthralled with the event. I took over 700 pictures of just the balloons over our 4.5 days at the Fiesta. Here I've tried to scale that down to 100 that I think are worth seeing. So be for warned to spend a lot of time in the album if you see it all the way through. |
