no res for me

Northeaster Arizona and Northwestern New Mexico are made up of Native American Reservations, we drove about through 285 miles of it today. What I described about Durango, Colorado was the total opposite of what we saw; Deserts can have some very pretty scenery, but this was like a total wasteland. Every so often we would see a habitat, which is being charitable; trailers in various stages of returning to the earth as a rust stain. You could usually tell they were at one time one color or another, but after years of sand blasting they had assumed the color of their surroundings. A lawnmower salesman would starve out here, green does not exist. Depressed and depressing, it appears as if the world had ended 50 years ago. How lucky we are, how blessed.
Cross the Colorado Border and green becomes part of the landscape again, we stay the night at Sundance RV Park in Cortez, Colorado, tomorrow we will drive the scenic Colorado Mountains to Creede; the high there for the week is 65 degrees the low 31, ahh!
