Well nearly is the time I travel on, tomorrow my owner Sylvia is taking me to Durdle Door, an Unesco World Heritage site (natural) along with Siti Smut, C.K., & Taro, we should have a wonderful time. It is good because my mum hasnt been there either before... so it gives them an excuse.

Farmington, NM, USA - 5th July 2007

Here I am in Farmington, New Mexico. I missed out on the Freedom Days parade last night but I have had a bit of an adventure on my arrival. My host has a large dog that looks -- well, looks very much like me. I thought it might be good to have our picture together and squished down my fears (we know I haven't many) and sidled over to him and who would have guessed but he ran away. I guess he has truly recognized what a brave adventurer I am but it may take awhile for me to get him calmed down I'll be back with a picture of the two of us in a bit.

I've done it! I've tamed him. Now I would like you to look closely because we do look quite the same -- except he's a little bit bigger.
Now I'm going to rest and get ready to go camping in the mountains -- it sounds like there could be plenty of adventure there.

Trinidad, Colorado, USA - 7th July 2007

I got back to my host's house today from a really adventurous camping trip through the mountains and into southeast Colorado. I toured old ghost towns and even went down into a volcano in New Mexico. This picture is of me while I was climbing back up to the rim. I have so much to update and so many pictures but I need a bit of rest first.

La Plata, NM, USA - 7th July 2007
By: wourpet
Our mission started at Farmington but it was once we passed La Plata on highway 64 that it started to get interesting. We drove through some very rugged country with arroyos, hoodoos and mountains. There were even old lava flows in places and cinders in other places.

Trinidad Lake State Park, Colorado, USA - 8th July 2007
By: wourpet
It was quite fun learning we would be camped on a mesa above the lake. I had plenty of interesting places to explore around the campground -- including this old rock well. I wanted to climb down into it but my host didn't think it was a good idea.

Cokedale, CO, USA - 9th July 2007
By: wourpet
The little town of Cokedale is a former mining town and across the road are all the rows and rows of ovens where they cooked the coal. They are now on private property so I wasn't allowed to actually explore inside the old ovens.

Ludlow, CO, USA - 10th July 2007
By: wourpet
This was the site of the Ludlow Massacre and there is a monument here. The really exciting part for me was the old mining car. Just like the ones Indiana Jones jumped about on.
Not too far from the site of the massacre was the old Ludlow station -- a ghost town now.
I decided we should see more ghost towns so we headed down the road to several other old mining towns.

Back at the campground I made sure and updated my journals and my mission book. I have one more mission I will be going on before we get back to Farmington, NM.

Farmington, NM, USA - 21st July 2007
By: wourpet
I've been back in Farmington a few days now but today I was invited along for a drive into town. I was astounded at the exciting possibilities I discovered just down the road. These caves are so close and they MUST have something interesting to discover in them. I asked my host to please, please let me wander down and investigate. She was on her own mission at the time and wasn't able but she has promised that before I leave I will be able to investigate at least one of the caves.
