Within a few minutes of setting out on our day's travels, I got something in my eye--it started as just an irritation, then grew to be painful, to the point where I couldn't keep my left eye open. Fortunately, we were near Montrose, a relatively large town of 21,000, and we stopped there for a visit to Urgent Care. The doctor there couldn't see anything in the eye, but recommended a saline wash that I could buy at Walmart down the road. We did pick it up there, I used the wash, and it got better--gradually.
Onward.

We spent the next 2 days driving through spectacular mountain scenery through Ouray and Telluride to Cortez, and then visiting Mesa Verde. The mountains were wonderful, Mesa Verde, a mystery.
It's a mystery to me how the people of Mesa Verde lived their daily lives climbing up and down the cliff walls.
It was hot (again 90s temps), and we only took short walks to the sights. I was interested to learn the Mesa Verde is not a true mesa, but a cuesta, a ridge with a steep cliff on one side, and a gentle slope on the other. We had done all the cliff tours many years ago, and just enjoyed our walks here. We ate our lunches by the edge
of the mesa in the shade.
All around the various towns of Colorado, we have been amused at the names of Marijuana "Dispensaries" aka stores: The Weedery, Delirious, CanaCare, Pure Cannabliss, Rocky Mountain High, The Buzz...
