Cortez Colorado- Hovenweep

We had a nice sunset at Monticello last  night. This morning we moved down the road 60 miles to Cortez, Colorado and Sundance RV Park. This is the largest town we have seen since Flagstaff, several weeks ago. It has more than one street, wow.  This afternoon we settled in then headed for Hovenweep National Monument.  This was not on our itinerary  but turned out to be a little jewel. The two mile hike circled a rock  canyon which had a number of unique 700 year old Pueblo ruins. The 42 mile road in from the north was all irrigated and growing lots of hay, pinto beans, wheat, barley, & sunflowers. The first real crops we have seen for awhile.  The 42 mile road out was basically rock canyons with irrigated hay.
