Tuesday we drove from Moab to Four Corners. I didn't realize it was run by the Navajo Indians. This meant we couldn't use our National Park Pass and had to pay $15 to enter. The area is surrounded by "flea market" booths selling the Indian's wares. Missy and Katelyn bought a few things and the boys had snow cones.
We continued on to Mesa Verde National Park, driving to the top of the Mesa which was again a lot of fun in the RV. I never thought about the desert having so many mountains. We got our ticket for a ranger guided tour of some ruins that was to start in an hour. As we were leaving we noted a park ranger watching a small fire to the south of the visitor center and we all thought that was pretty cool since we never see fires that much. We drove on towards the start point of the tour. (About 8 miles or so) We we took the turn to go to the tour and immediately noticed a lot of vehicles coming toward us. We were about to make the final turn when we saw a park ranger directing traffic. He stopped us and apologized, but told us that part of the park was closed for the remainder of the day due to the fire. So we improvised and saw some smaller ruins that were still open.
We drove on to Durango, Colorado, to stay for the night. We ate at a Mexican restaurant called Tequila's, but it was not like our people.

James: oil prices went up almost five bucks today. I blame that on lying greedy Al Gore for this. I just hope it falls some on your big drive home...

I hate it when the rich take advantage of a nice middle class family. God Bless the Wallis's....
