Day 1 of our trip to Silverton, CO.

The dogs and I did a couple short hikes on the way to Silverton. I had other hikes planed, but it was to hot for the pups. We watched the sun set at Andrews Lake, Co, and car-camped near South Mineral Campground(West of Silverton.)

Since I was in town, I decided to stop by on my way home from the Celebrate Cedar Mesa gathering.

This was a long day that started with early morning in Butler Wash, moved to Hovenweep for much of the afternoon, and finished up back in Bluff. We started this leg with a visit to the Bluff cemetery, hoping to see some of the original settlers graves. They must have been buried elsewhere, or the markers are lost to the ages, since almost all the graves are from later generations. We made sad note of the incidence of child and infant deaths.

Anyway, the Bluff Great House was a good lesson to me of how well nature can disguise even a very large ruin in a short stretch of time. It shouldn't have surprised me, since the site is perfectly situated to collect windblown sand and dust.

Hung out at the ruins to watch the Bluff Balloon Regatta. Really pretty. Then continued on with life.
