I'm in the office trying to procrastinate, and so, I write in my blog. I should be dealing with paper work but who wants to do that? This post is obviously working to delay any routine pushing papers. I returned home from a 3 week trip to Patagonia and still feel like I'm down there. Maybe my soul didn't make the flight home. It could be over the South Atlantic Ocean still? If you find it tell her to come back to me.
Anyhoot, onto business. Going through my mail, a package from
National Geographic Traveler arrived. A story I covered last year along with my friend/writer David Roberts, made the pages of the
April 2011 issue.
Ute Mountain Tribal Park is a special place to explore ancient dwellings in a relaxed state. If you're into publoean archaeological sites, this place should be on the top of your list. You don't feel like a piece of cattle whilst in this Ute operated park. Official sites usually have strict rules, for good reason of course, but feel like you have not explored anything because all is in a neat package. The Ute sites are raw but still preserved and have a sense that the Anasazi just left. You will still see raw organic architecture, corn cobs, points, pottery sherds and I even found a piece of rope. But please look, photograph and then return them for others to experience.
Ok, back to the paperwork.
