Summer Vacation III


As our trip continued, we visited the rural cemetery where Nick's Grandma Georgia, who died in 2006 is buried.

At Mesa Verde National Park we took a tour of the ancestral pueblo ruins of "The Balcony House." This tour requires a short hike, then a steep climb up a forty foot ladder. Later, you must crawl through an 18 inch wide tunnel.

We had a great time at the Bar D Chuck wagon dinner. After the dinner, there's cowboy music, which is the real reason you go. Sean got a picture with three of the five skilled musicians after the show.

On the way home, we hiked up to Wilson's Arch. It's just off the highway south of Moab. While not quite as spectacular as Delicate Arch, it's more accessible and a lot faster to see. Nick and Sean can be seen doing their "Rocky" pose as they reached the summit.
