<\/a><\/p>\nMargie hit another home run with the Copper Manor, our home for two nights . . . only $54\/room!!!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to get into a new routine. At home, I take my pills every morning with cranberry juice. Here is my routine on the road. The last thing usually do is load my vino in the cooler, so I take my pills with a little of the grape!<\/p>\n Today we are traveling 40 miles to the Gila Cliff Dwellings, a settlement of natives who lived in caves about 1200AD. We were going to rent a car but decided to take Tom\u2019s rig. One would have to sit in the WAY BACK. On the way up Gina volunteered.<\/p>\n Our happy crew ready for a road trip!!!<\/p>\n I forgot to bring a hat to ward of the sun on my bald spot and decided to buy one at the Visitor Center. I told Ranger Rita I wouldn\u2019t buy one unless she posed for a photo . . . she said sure.<\/p>\n When we found out she was from Stevens Point, WI and went to school in Ripon, it was time for a group shot! A Gila monster stalked us up to the ruins . . .<\/p>\n Our first sighting of the ruins on the trail leading up the hill . . .<\/p>\n Rooms 2 & 3<\/p>\n The natives did a lot of cooking in the rooms and over time the ceilings blackened from the soot.<\/p>\n Rangers were on sight to give us all the history and details.<\/p>\n One of the native paintings . . .<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
