Green Mask Utah?
That’s San Juan County
Mesa Verde, CO?
I love the Cortez/Durango area. Some very fun mountain bike trails there, as well as Native American history and heritage.

Mesa Verde is correct!
We’ve also visited the Canyon of the Ancients, Four Corners, and drove around Durango this morning.

I’m sure you’ve got a rock solid defense.

A defense? Yes…sort of.
The only thing remotely close to solid about it is the Pueblo houses were there. Everything else is kind of like quicksand.
The trip to Portland and Covallis was nice, the game - not so much.
On the flight home, a nice shot of Mount Hood, Mt. Adams (right) and Mount Raineer (distant left)

Thanks!
I saw that view, imagined what it was like with those volcanoes back in dinosaur times, before BYU fans… I had to take that shot.

We’ve stayed at the Timberline Lodge, at the Base of Mt Hood. One of a number built by the CCC during the depression. Stunningly beautiful; particularly at night by the fire. Very reasonably price for the level of ambient beauty, hospitality and things to do.

You have to love that knotty pine interior paneling that the CCC used all over the place. I’ve been to so many places that looked exactly like that first photo and loved every one of them.
I knew a gentleman from central Utah, who passed away a few years ago, who was a Ute Alum and a dedicated Ute fan (primarily basketball). He came back to the US after finishing his tour of duty in WWII as a pilot, then went immediately to, and helped develop, the Jackson Hole area prior to returning to SLC and starting his own very successful water management, and construction company. He finished his own basement in the St. Mary’s area with knotty pine as a reminder to what he had seen done by the CCC as a younger man and what he had done in Jackson.
