Southwest Adventures

I guess that’s actually more due south than southwest, and even a little east.  Grandpa Bird and I took some time to go see some sights, and had a pretty good time doing it.  We were able to see Mesa Verde, which I’ve always felt is under-appreciated as a National Park.  On the flip side, it’s nice because it’s a little further out of the way, and the crowds aren’t too bad.  The crowds at the Grand Canyon were awful; traffic wasn’t as bad as Yellowstone, but the crowds were as thick.  It makes me hope some of my favorite remote spots stay relatively obscure. 

Anyway, it was a good chance to spend time with my father-in-law, and we saw some great stuff.  Pictures below.
