Enjoying watching snowboard cross, or something like that. Four racers on snowboards racing through turns and jumps. Looks like it would be great fun, and a great way to break a leg.
That’s for sure.
I watched USA vs China in curling today. USA won by a landslide and now is 3 - 0 so far.
Also watched some of the down hill skiing. I just get looked once I start watching.

Good evening! Visited the Tonto National Forest cliff dwelling today near Rosevelt Lake in Arizona.
Wanted to take the 1/2 mile hike up 320’ to see them close up but the feds required a face diaper in the building. Asked If by we could just skip the “intro” and proceed to the outdoor hike but they said no, and I put my CC back into the pocket, so only got a long distance phone photo.
No face diapers for us.

Here, but occasionally There.
On my second cup at the moment, after which I should get up and go shave, put in the teeth, and get dressed.

I decided just now to do something I haven't done in some time and that is post some pictures. Dennis' comment prompted me to rub it in a bit. However, in all honesty, the following pictures were taken back in 2009 and thus, way before the need for face diapers.

Mesa Verde pictures.

Spruce Tree House area.





Perhaps of interest to some, such as myself, the cliff ruins also had other "rooms" off away from the main set of structures.





Cliff House



Hemenway House Ruins



Square Tower House Ruins



Balcony House area. Two or three structures here, one of which is somewhat destroyed.



Sun Point View area



Oak Tree House - Multiple structures on different levels of the cliff face.



I had wanted to go to Mesa Verde for years, but the one year prior when I had a fair opportunity to go, they were having fires in the area. I think one can see burned out trees in one of the photos above. Maybe more than one, but I'd have to look again. I was more interested in showing the different "house areas" than getting into details of what is there.

As a reminder, my photos are embedded in the forum in such a way that one can click on the image here at OSA and be directed to that photo on my Smugmug site. Then, clicking on the "X" towards the upper right, one can "exit" from the single image to where one can see the thumbnails in the rest of the gallery.
