Cortez, Colorado

Valerie was invited to an artist's reception at the Cortez Cultural Center as part of her Aspen Guard Station Artist-in-Residence Program. We went early and spent some time looking around. We drove out and stood on the monument marking the Four Corners. We played by La Plata Creek. We did a quick loop through the Valley of the Gods. We went down to Aztec and wandered through the Ruins. (We returned via Farmington, which was very unpleasant.) And, we spent a lot of time in the campground swimming pool. Finally, there was the reception--which was well attended after a nice write-up in the Cortez Journal.
