The
fire is out and the park opens tomorrow so its on to Mesa Verde.
First find a tour with a ranger. The rangers are all very knowledgeable and have interesting stories about the cliff dwellings. Since they live in caves where rocks fall all the time This ranger's story was about prayer sticks. Ask me, most people aren't interested. |

A
reconstructed pithouse.
No, its not that kind of pit. The basic features of a pit house were a living room, and a firepit with an air deflector, an antechamber (may hold storage bins), and a sipapu. |
