Thu May 6
We went into Cortez and bought and had installed a complete set of new tires on the motor home. Perhaps we can get back home without further problem now. After that we toured Mesa Verde National Park for the remainder of the day. The Wetherill Mesa Road is not yet open for the season but we did visit the Museum, the Spruce Tree House Ruins, took a guided tour of the Cliff Palace Ruins and stopped at a few overlooks and minor ruins on the return to camp. The extent of ancient Native American populations, what they built and how they evolved and survived from what is left of their existence is both amazing and mysterious. Laurene did not feel up to hiking any more due to problems with her knee so she stayed at camp and fixed a good Shepard pie for all. Also Dave, Gene and Lynn had gone on before due to our delay so we toured alone today. After dinner we watched slide shows of our trip pictures.
