This was a laid back morning with no alarm set. For breakfast we had Walmart donut holes (our first Walmart since Upper Sandusky). In 1984 the BLM created McPhee dam in the Dolores Canyon. Prior to flooding the canyon a rush effort was made to excavate sites of importance from the valley. This resulted in a very well stocked, new museum. They have a very nice display of artifacts which engulfed the remainder of our morning. Most of these are in excellent condition and 700 to 1300 years old. They even had a section removed from a 1,000 year old burnt kiva which contained identifiable pottery, cloth, and corn kernels.
