In fairness, we were never lost. We knew exactly where we where; what we could not figure out was where our campground was! We thought it was in Mesa Verde National Park (that is what the reserving website said). Turns out it was only relatively near Mesa Verde. The only directions we had were from a town 20m to our north. We called the reservation "help line" and they did not have an "actual" address for the campground, only the same directions we had. The representative did know it was "somewhere" between Cortez and Dolores, Co....gee, thanks, that was helpful. NOT!
So by cross referencing their (lousy) directions with our map and having L (on the blackberry) and T (on the computer) looking up maps of the surrounding area, we were able to (finally) find our campground and camp site. We did not get here until 10pm! We had a (very) late dinner and the kids are now in bed. We found when we got here and tried to level the camper, that we have a flat tire, so tomorrow we are hoping to get it fixed quickly so we can actually go see Mesa Verde National Park.
On a fun note, we went to "4 corners" today. It was a cheesy tourist stop, but it was fun. The kids enjoyed being in 2 different time zones and 4 different states at the same time. They ran "through" all four states in seconds. We honestly don't know where we are headed to tomorrow...just further East.
