Spent Tuesday at Gila Cliff Dwellings. Perfect, gorgeous drive out there. Met several dedicated volunteers. It is a 2 hour drive to the store, no cell service. They are special people. It was very unique in that visitors can actually go inside the dwellings. That is rare these days. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument

Greetings from Capitol Reef National Park
A huge lake with a little island in the middle sometimes there is snow in there but sometimes it's nice and sunny. The island in the middle is called the wizard's island and it's beautiful there.
