The Prince had to inhale to get through
A surprise in the nightCORTEZ, CO -- Hiking is our favorite thing to do in these parts, and we've done precious little of it so far.
Wednesday we got on the trail for a short trek of just under three miles, to look at some pictographs at Mesa Verde National Park. Some parts of the trail were steep and some were unusually narrow, as Prince Charming demonstrates in the top picture.
Our day started in Durango, where we spent the night in a peaceful campground near the Animus River. At least it started out peacefully. At some point during the night (neither of us checked the time) our slumber was interrupted by what sounded like General Rommel's Panzer army lining up for the drive-thru.
When the sun came up, this is what we found -- the mother of all recreational vehicles. It's called an EcoRoamer and it looks like a bomb shelter on wheels. Big wheels.
It is supposedly environmentally friendly because it burns biodiesel. Noise pollution? Needs some work.
We didn't get to meet the owners, who apparently were still sleeping when we left shortly after 7 a.m.
