Day 20

Our plan when we awoke was to DRIVE!  We had about 5.5 hours of driving ahead of us, so we thought this would be a road day with a few scenic pit stops along the way.  But when we saw Lake Powell, we couldn't help ourselves!  It looks like tropical waters up next to the huge towering sand dunes.  We packed another picnic lunch and headed to the marina.  We ended up spending some time on the beach, then we rented a speedboat for 2 hours and the kids went tubing.  What fun!!!  Storms were brewing around us after about an hour and the water got really rough.  Made for an adventurous trip back to the marina for sure!  On the way, we lost our tube somehow and God only knows how we were able to double back and find it just floating where we apparently dropped it overboard.  So, we rallied back in the RV, changed into dry clothes, and traveled the remaining 4 hours to Mesa Verde State Park in Colorado.  We actually drove through Four Corners - the only town in the US where 4 states meet - Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah.  Pretty cool.  In total, we clocked 335 miles today with me doing most of the driving....I was in that kind of mood.  We set up camp in Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado.  It is remote and beautiful.....we saw huge mule deer as we were pulling into our spot.  Norm already has the campfire started and the kids are putting hot dogs on skewers for a late dinner.   Until tomorrow!
