Currently Listening To: Nature. For once. Birds and stuff. And those little crickety things that just go at it all night.
Miles Traveled: Whatever I was at yesterday...

| Obligatory selfie at the park. |
 |
| During the day |
 |
| I feel like this trail is something out of a movie |
 |
| I got all artistic and stuff. |
 |
| Just waiting for the sun to set. |
 |
| I love this combination of colors |
 |
| The rocks are higher than the moon |
 |
| Rainbow sky |
I wish I could stay at Mesa Verde another day. It's beautiful. This is by far my favorite place I've been to on the trip. I got in around noon, and then spent the rest of the day setting up the tent, cooking, exploring, and just hanging out. This morning, I was surprised that I slept in an hour late and then I realized yesterday I had hopped back a time zone without realizing it. Anyway, I got up, worked on some stuff, met an Australian biker gang, and then hiked for a few hours. Halfway through the hike, my camera battery died, so after getting that charged, I hiked back in the evening to watch the sun set by the mesa. Three other guys had the same idea, so we all shared a few rocks and took pictures. It was pretty amazing.
After talking with them for a little, they hiked back, and I sat on the edge and just watched. It was pretty peaceful, which is something that I am unused to. It was a weird feeling. I didn't feel like I had to be anywhere or do anything. I don't think I liked it. Regardless, that feeling was ruined by the realization that it was pitch black, I was sitting on a cliff, and a bear lives nearby. I think I ran most of the way back.
Tomorrow I'm driving as far into Kansas as I can and then stopping to sleep. I feel like Kansas won't be terribly interesting, but I'll give it a shot.
