After canceling our flight over Grand
Canyon due to potentially bad weather, Derek and I
visited Mesa Verde National Park in SW Colorado. We
visited three major and several minor Native American
settlements which were occupied from 1100-1300AD. We
also spent a lot of time at the Museum learning about
the Native American history. It was great.

think.
