Saturday. Hovenweep National Monument. Never been there before. It’s not on the way to anywhere. You have to really want to go there. That made us want to go there. That, and their pinon juniper habitat. A day-trip in the Jeep. Winding two-lane along the river west into Utah, then loop around to the north and almost back to Colorado. Wide open. Dry. Pinon juniper. Mesa. Ancient Puebloan stone towers on the edge of canyons where springs used to be. Lot of little birds. No juniper titmouse. A nice day, nonetheless.
