Ancient Cedars | Mesa Verde RV Park (by Caleb)

-

When we arrived at Ancient Cedars RV park it was in the afternoon. After we got there we tried to go to Four Corners monument but it was closed due to "winter hours." I mean, come on, it's not even winter yet! After we tried to go to Four Corners we got pizza, went back to the RV and watched a movie and then went to bed.

The next day we went to Mesa Verde National Park. The national park was known for its cliff dwellings lived in by ancient Pueblo Indians. The cliff dwellings looked like this...

Cliff Palace (the famous cliff dwelling)

Some other cliff dwelling

After Mesa Verde I went with dad to the store but there was so much stuff that we couldn't get it all that night, so we went home had dinner and went to bed.

The next few days we had school but then one day we did mini golf and went to Mesa Verde again and did the other part of the scenic loop. After that we went back to the RV and watched a movie then went to bed.

The next day we went horseback riding! We went on a trail and we went single file all together so that meant no guide was steering or pulling our horse! It was fun steering the horse myself. I rode up hills and around trees. Oh and the horse I rode was named Segundo, and I don't know why but he was slow and backing Asher, mom, and dad up, and I couldn't make him go faster.

The next day we went to San Luis Wildlife Area Campground, but on the way we stopped at a pullout and dad let us play in the snow since we were in the mountains!

I am glad we finally got to play in some snow

Food

As we traveled the country, we tried to experience local culture. We didn't have much time in each location, so we thought that one of the best ways to do this quickly was to partake of local foods. Therefore, in addition to our National Park theme , we also had a "local food" theme. As we hit each state, we ate a food famous in that state. Just an example; we didn't go off of this map We quickly came to realize that this is a very subjective endeavor. Before we started, I ignorantly assumed that each state would have one or two "famous" foods, making the selection process easy. Not true. First of all, most of what shows up on lists of foods by state is hardly "famous." It's more like "foods you will definitely find in this state and may or may not find elsewhere." Some states have a dozen such foods or more. Many states have the same "famous" foods (there is a lot of crossover with fruit and beef). Second, much of this food...

Lassen Volcanic National Park

We have officially entered the Pacific Ring of Fire. Well, we've technically been in it for the past few months while in California, but none of the parks we've been to have been related... until now. Starting with Lassen, we're about to hit multiple parks built around volcanos. Other than Mt. Saint Helens and that one in Hawaii that never stops, I would have been hard pressed to name another volcano that erupted in this country... ever. But sure enough, Mount Lassen erupted numerous times between 1915 and 1921, doing quite a bit of damage to the surrounding area (there is a section near the mountain called "the devastated area," which is humorous because it's all grown back and looks perfectly normal now). We've had remarkably good weather for our park days, but as you can probably tell from the picture above, that luck ran out at Lassen. I'm guessing a lot of it had to do with us being at elevation, but the entire day was chilly and foggy. If we look...

My Family's House (by Jordan)

-
It all started out with our adoption. We've been waiting for about 3 years to adopt a child. When my dad put the house on Zillow someone's wife wanted to buy it in 10 minutes. But the husband promised his wife a pool. So they didn't buy the house. There were a few others that I can't remember. But finally Melissa and Tim stepped up! They bought the house. We left March fifth. Tim and Melissa have a daughter named Brook. We are on March sixth now and we are enjoying our time at Poinsett State Park!
