We had a quiet night sleep in the Walmart carpark. A few other vans had stopped the night too.

We spent the day doing chores. First, the laundromat where we washed the COVID off everything. Clothes, towels, sheets, blankets.

Then to the car spa to give Rodger a good clean, and the bikes too. Neither of them had been cleaned since we bought them and they were covered in dust and bugs.

It was mid afternoon by the time we were done, so we headed for mesa verde national park and found a nice campsite for $10. We stayed at this same campground a few years ago when we were tent camping. Unfortunately it’s not open properly for the season, so no showers.

We drove up the steep drive to mesa verde, stopping at the summit which was 8500 feet overlooking the valleys and stunning views of the snow capped Rockies.

We then continued to the overlooks of cliff dwellings which were really neat. When we were here last time, we were able to walk around the dwellings, but now you need to do a tour.

We had a bacon and egg nap for dinner. Tomorrow we visit Melanie.
