Mexican Hat, Utah to Cortez , Colorado

March 22,2011 Mexican Hat Utah to Cortez , Colorado
After giving Monument Valley a good looking over continued to Mexican Hat , Utah and although I had considered making a short day of it wasn't very impressed with Mexican Hat and so made the rest of the day into a "driving day" and drove on to Cortez, Colorado. Southeastern Utah was very scenic though and I stopped and took pictures ot the Valley Of The Gods from the road, and then pressed on to Colorado.
I Pretty much pressed on to Cortez and checked into my motel at the Budget Host for $46.84 and called it a night after eating my dinner of a microwave baked potato and whole wheat bread with tea. I could pretty much hear what my neighbors said through the walls but they went to bed pretty early so that wasn't much of a problem.
Was planning on exploring Mesa Verde National Park and portions of Colorado the next day. But the more I checked into it the more they talked about snow in the high mountain passes and that most of the sites at Mesa Verde were closed because of snow so I decided to head East to Pagosa Springs the next day and then southeast to Santa Fe, New Mexico.
