Where The Hell have We Been

We was under cybered and blocked out the last few days over in Dolores, Colorado. Some places have wi-fi and cable tv and some don't. Always in a spot with good cable on Sunday. Anyway, the trip over from Green River, Ut., was scenic. The RV park is nice and we backed up on a pond. After getting squared away, we rode over to the Four-Corners Monument. It's a spot in the desert where Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona all meet. The only place in all the USA that a body can stand in four states at once. I refused to lay down on my back on the thing, but did manage a pose touching all four. That was about enough for one day, so we headed back. At this time of year out here, hunters are the main occupants in the campgrounds which are still open, but it is real slow.
We headed over to Mesa Verde National Park the next am. They show an excellent film about the area history and have a museum to wander through. The pottery and baskets are very sophisticated and quite beautiful. We chose to take the short walk down to the Spruce House, an incredibly well preserved example of the cliff dweller abodes. They were pretty good masons.
The next day, Wed., we decided to drive up to Telluride, Co. It's about a 65 mile trip. As we headed north and uphill the temp began to drop and before long it was sleeting followed by a little snow. Some cars going the other way looked to have 4-6" of snow on them. We walked around town a little while and then headed east and south down the other side of the mountain to Durango. Once again we ran into some frozen precip. Durango to Delores completed our loop.
Yesterday morning it was about 30 in Dolores so we packed up and headed east and south to Taos, NM. It was a delightful ride, hitting 10,000+ elevation going across. Our RV park here is very nice, but once again it's pretty cold. We drove up to Taos ski area to see what was going on up there. They've been dusted a few times, but no accumulations. On the way we passed a little place that had a sign up saying that the Subdudes were playing in person that evening. We wipped around and got tickets for the show. I had heard of these guys 10 or 15 years ago and had a cassette of theirs digatized and loaded on the ol' i-pod. The venue was a tent with sides attached to the building. It had a couple propane heaters going and we staked a claim to a seat next to one. About 100 to maybe tops of 125 people were there. At $17/head, I don't know how the five Subdudes make much money. They set up themselves with maybe two tech guys to keep things straight. Well the band was terrific. They would be classified as Delta music. Some neat percussions, a jazzy accordion and four of the five sing and harmonize. About half way through, something blew and the whole stage went dead. The Subdudes simply stepped off the stage into the center of the floor, everyone surrounded them, and they did three numbers "unplugged." It was the highlight of the evening.
It was about 34 when we got home and 27 this am. Tomorrow we head down to Santa Fe and hopefully warmer temps.
