Day 1: we drove up to Mesa Verde National Park for two nights. We stayed at the Mesa Verde RV park which was only one mile from the park entrance. On the drive up from Albuquerque, the engine light on the truck came on. I checked the truck’s information center and found out that my fuel filter life was down to 3%. I was able to get an appointment at Dodge dealer in Cortez for the next day. I arrived around 8:00 and after the fuel filters were changed the check engine light was still lit. After going thru the codes they determined we needed some kind of software download. Auto repair sure isn’t what it used to be. Thankfully, I got that done around 11:00 - had some lunch back at the trailer and then spent the afternoon at Mesa Verde National Park.
This is an overlook toward Mancos after driving up the initial hill in the park.
We hiked the Petroglyph Point trail which starts at the museum on Chaplin Mesa. Total trail length is about 3 miles which for the first half of the hike is the side of canyon and for second half of the hike we’re back on top of the Mesa heading back to the trailhead. The first mile and a half was a lot of up and down with the return being fairly level. The weather could not have been any better. The nights are getting below freezing so have been disconnecting the water to the trailer. The days have been really nice so far.
Tomorrow we head to Blanding, Utah where we will stay for the next ten nights.
