Crater lake is pretty cool. I’m not sure if it has changed, but when we went a few years ago you couldn’t take a dog if you want to go out on the ferry ride. We had ours and still got to see some great views.

Well coaster said come on human this is crazy hot for my furry butt .. so we stopped off at the hot springs in Big Bend
got to some really old pictographs and petroglyphs like 100-300 bc old
before getting out of there now were sitting up in the marfa lights viewing area to see if maybe we can see these odd things that were first spotted in 1880's by a local rancher . Hmmmm
and this same area was used in the 40's for a training airfield
so who knows will make the attempt to get glowing light ball video if they show but no promises on em cause well you know odd lights in the air are never a for sure thing

So far so good .. it's nice to not have any kind of schedule ...
Yea it isn't just there all national parks now are no pets on trails ,6'leash when out an about even at camp , only allowed on roads doesnt matter if paved or dirt ..problem arose with folks not picking up behind em like they should on trails so to prevent it they just banned em on them ..
You know stay tuned....
From here we head for Mesa Verde in southern Colo. Possibly stop in New Mexico dunno yet....

Are you planning on going up thru the Guadalupe mountains national Park? That area is beautiful, sucks about the dog issue. They build a bypass trial for the Colorado and Continental divide trails around Rocky mountain national Park.
I was told by rangers previously that they were banning dogs on the trails inside national parks because the wildlife identified the dogs poo as wolf poo and they would stay out of the area thinking there was a predator present. Not sure if that was a BS line just given to me because I was standing there with my dog but that was in RMNP about three years ago.

Of course I will so long as I have signal lol ..Looks like a epic trip!Looking forward to more pics
Glad your enjoying things this far ... stay tuned .. updating when the cellular gods allow [emoji12]
Having been there previously I went argue it is indeed a beautiful area...
Dunno about the wolf thing .. I spoke with one of the rangers in both Devils Tower ,and in Big Bend to some degree and both pretty much gave me the same reason with folks not packing out or even burying poop .. the part I found amusing was they both stated it's not just pets .. they are close to giving poop bags to people without pets and not allowing cat holes any longer.. as I said previously am curious how they will enforce that one ..
Currently rolling down 25 in N.M. just shy of T or C ... the Marfa mystery lights were a no show so ohh well there maybe next time ..

So today went an took a look at some of the varied sites here at Mesa Verde N.P. an man I'm impressed having been to the Gila cliff dwellings these here blow that one away the sheer cliffs an how high up from the canyon floor are incredible.. if you have never been I highly recommend a visit ..here are just a few shots that I took with my phone ..
I wanted to get a good shot of the sun temple but your not able to really see the layout of it an no drone zone so couldn't even take that shot with it
a few things of interest

Very cool! So much history there. I’m sure it’s nice to have cooler temps.
