| At home that night by the fire. Mesa Verde's a great bus stop! |
Bus Stops is dedicated in loving memory of Madison as a record of the adventures that we know he would love and that he is sharing with us. It took a village to bring his beloved bus home from England. Thanks to all of you who shared this crazy vision with us. Now, we would like to invite everyone to join us here on Bus Stops as we live the adventure. All aboard!

Bus Stop #8 Mesa Verde, CO June 4th
After an easy drive from Durango, the entrance to Mesa Verde was a trip in itself. 
The top of the mesa is a huge world to itself and the climb up takes some time.
At the top we drove straight to the campground and discovered the ruins are another 15 miles across and on up the mesa. We settled into a great little campsite. Look at the little bus parked among the pinyon and juniper!
We had plenty of time left in the day to enjoy a ranger guided tour of one of the many cliff dwellings. It would be easy to spend more time - the stories about the ancient people were fascinating as you stood right among their homes. Here's a pic, but it's hard to do justice to this place.
