We decided to make an impromptu stop at Mesa Verde national park on our way through Colorado this year. The day was hot and long, but I am glad we did it!
The cliff dwellings were really awesome – they were 60 feet deep looking back into the cave! And the hole thingies (I can’t remember what they were called) were really deep too.
The “hole thingies” were a place where the dwellers would pray for rain, so Jeana told Audrey and Kate to pray for rain while they were down in there.
After a long day of walking around in the dusty cliff, you can only imagine how gross and nasty feet and flip-flops could become.
It’s always hot there. We went camping there one summer and found excuses just to get in the car for the A/C or headed to Durango to cool off.
It worked! It rained later that day. Maybe not in Colorado, but it did as we pulled into Grandma and Grandpa’s house in Utah.
