Mesa Verde is captivating! No wonder the Pueblo Indians created cliff dwellings there! The view from the highest point of 8,572′ was all-around amazing-all 360 degrees. Mesa Verde means green tableland; so lush! Besides the scenery , the cliff dwellings are awesome, displaying the artistry and supreme building skills of the Pueblo people. Beginning around AD550 extending 7 centuries, they flourished in Mesa Verde eventually building stone communities around 1200. They were no longer there in the late 1200s-where did they go? No one knows for sure. Then today at Hovenweep NM, I witnessed more of their skills at building villages clustered around water sources. They left Hovenweep, too, at the same time as residents of Mesa Verde left. To walk the trail envisioning what it would have been like to live in these places is entertaining, indeed. On the way to Hovenweep this morning 2 deer appeared from nowhere, perhaps behind an oncoming vehicle, one of whom killed herself and took Pearl’s driver-side mirror with her. Tomorrow is scheduled the replacement mirror. I am grateful that the car Pearl and I are just fine
