The Move, Part 1: Four Corners and Balcony House (Mesa Verde)

This one is actually before we moved. It shows that poor Johnathan has two sisters who are convinced that he (a) is a dress-up doll, and (b) would be cuter as a girl.


Four Corners. Two of these states have been our home.


Balcony House at Mesa Verde. Gotta watch the kids, as there are no handrails or other guards to keep you from taking a jolly good plunge off the cliffside.



Entrance to the Balcony House via an authentic reconstruction of the original means. Sturdy ladder, though, even if a bit unnerving to climb.


Someone's former living room?



The only other way into / out of Balcony House is this little tunnel. Either this was intended to be an impediment, or these people were all Johnathan's size.


"No way to design an entrance hall."


After another ladder, you climb up a rather perilous seeming rock face on your way back to the trail head.


We made it!
