Today was a beautiful day.  It was warm, the sun was out, the sky was blue, the valleys were green and the mountains were brown on the bottom and bright white on top.  We went to Mancos to top off with diesel and then stopped at a trading post with LARGE arrows stuck in the ground and bought a cowboy hat and jewelry.  And then up to the top of Mesa Verde, one of our favorite places.  The vistas and the history were inspiring.  We did some touring and hiking on our own and then took a ranger tour at Cliff House
