Today was another busy day, with alot of walking (mostly uphill it seems!) and steps, steps and more steps!  Nothing is flat here lol  We started with a big breakfast, and I think I finally got my cast iron skillet seasoned like it's supposed to be, very happy about that.

Our 1st stop was the Manitou Cliff Dwellings.  These cliff dwellings were actually built nearly 1000 yrs ago by the Anasazi Indians.  Larry is standing next to a bread oven that was used to bake up to 30 loaves of bread at one time.






 After the cliff dwellings, we drove through the Garden of the God's.  These huge red rocks are just standing propped against each other, and balanced on top of each other.  We watched a short movie explaining how they were formed... something about tectonic plates, erosion, earthquakes and millions of years in the making. 










Here's also a few pictures of deer we saw a couple days ago while we were walking the dogs.  In the last picture you can see the deer drinking from a blue water dish.


Was another tiring day of walking, so we were thinking about taking tomorrow off and doing some laundry and cleaning, but then I forgot to bring laundry detergent.  Looks like another visit to Walmart in our future!  For now, we're in the camper just chilling out and watching the CMT awards.  The wind blows so much here we haven't attempted building a fire.  One of these nights hopefully we'll get a chance to have some toasted marshmallows.
