Kind of an easy day today. The weather was warm, but cloudy. Ann, Al, John and I drove up to Lowery Pueblo, one of the outlying sites of Hovenweep Nat'l Monument. The site is north of Cortez. That area is relatively flat and agricultural - the pinto bean capital of the US. The pueblo is quite interesting, built onto several times over the course of 60-70 years. The whole area is called the Great Sage Plain, and has one of the greatest number of prehistoric sites anywhere in the country. Within this area is the Canyon of the Ancients National Monument. Jim and Gin stayed home, getting Gin over the aches and pains from her horseback ride.
After lunch, we finished the game of Mexican Train (dominoes) that we had started last night. And we wound up playing Mexican Train all afternoon. It was cloudy and windy, so it was just a good "down-time" day. This is a great game for 4-8 people.
We ate at an Italian restaurant, and had our best "out" dinner so far. Then we came home and finished the last game of the day.
Tomorrow is supposed to be cooler and 40% chance of rain. We'll have to wait to see what's happening in the morning before we make a decision as to what to do tomorrow.
