After getting everything squared away in the RV, we headed out to Cortez for dinner and to get some groceries at the local grocery store. By the time we got back to the RV it was dusky dark so we did not notice until the next morning that someone in the grocery store had backed into our truck. The passenger side bumper had been pulled out and the headlight was smashed in. Needless to say, we were very upset and not sure if the truck was road worthy. So we rented a car from Budget and decided to not let this spoil our visit to Mesa Verde.
We spend the rest of the day visiting the National Park and the cliff dwellings. The next day, we went to the local Walmart (boy! I seem destined to visit a Walmart in almost every stop on this trip.) and bought about 5 rolls of duct tape. John was able to tape the bumper and side panels well enough to make the truck ok to drive. We decided to have it fixed in Raleigh, but we contacted our insurance agent who advised us to file a police report - which we did. Unfortunately, we had parked the truck on the side of the store that did not have any surveillance camera.
These were taken from high above, looking across and down at the dwellings that have been carved out of the sheer cliff walls.
