You’ve just taken a quick trip to Bandolier National Monument that provided rooms for the Ancestral Pueblo people centuries ago.

We're homeless. Intentionally. What planet was I on when I agreed to this?

Nice pictures of unusual rooms! And i place i put on my travel list. I wonder if I fit in there …. 6.6 feet ? 😀

Now I’m stumped! It was a while ago that we were there. The rooms were small, the windows and doors were low but I can’t remember the height. You’ll just have to go and see! 🙂

So cool!

An amazing place, but where would I keep all my shoes? I suppose they didn’t have electricity or running water. They must have kept very fit, climbing around up there. One advantage would be very little housework to do. Maybe just sweep the bat droppings out, every so often. 🙂

I could do with a place like that to hide at the moment. Why is WP suggesting that I follow you? I thought I already was.
LikeLike
Huh. Dunno. I know you’ve missed a few of my posts. I didn’t know if you were indisposed. Maybe WP unfollowed me from you? Does it say ‘following’ at the top of my blog when you are on it? Or at the top of this comment? I can see I’m following you on this comment box. I’d be upset with them if they unfollowed me from you!

I’m missing posts everywhere at the moment. Long story. 😦 I miss blogging so much. If WP is choosing my pals for me I’ll get cross. It doesn’t say “following” any more – very strange. I’m gonna click it again and follow you.

Well that ‘xplains that then. What the h*** do they think they are doing? I am cross for you! I’ll be on the lookout for random unfollows. (btw, been looking at houses in Cornwall)

I would say that I was drunk, but it’s not the case. Unless I touched the button with my hammy fingers by mistake on Gizmo’s tiny screen … good girl for looking In Cornwall. Pixies never let a girl down.

I already picked my room there sometime in 2004, holy smokes that’s ten years ago. Would love to go back there and check if my room is preserved.

It’s probably much the same as you left it. You may want to take a sleeping bag and a snack.

It was a fun day out if a little chilly. Still, a little snow keeps some of the pesky tourist hoards away.

Interesting. Did you get pics of the INSIDE?

I searched all through my photos when I was putting the post together and I didn’t! The rooms were very small and dark and plain and roundish. I guess I thought it wouldn’t make a good photo. I wish I had taken at least one though.

Ok thanks. Was just curious what they looked like inside, but your explanation says it all 🙂

Oh good. I wasn’t blogging then. I find I look at things differently now, like making a photographic journal.

World traveller maybe, but I gave up on heights in 2000 after struggling up the Grampians in Australia and realising that I no longer enjoyed hiking uphill 🙂

I guess you didn’t do the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb.

Oh, no! I did go up the tower at the end of the bridge – plenty high enough for me. Anyway that bridge climb is expensive!

We went up the Sydney Tower – looks a bit like Seattle’s Space Needle – much cheaper than the bridge and no effort involved.

Almost made that one, but the weather wasn’t very good so didn’t see the point. Did go up the PO tower in Canberra though and that has fantastic views over the lake.

Hi Eric! How many ladders do you have to climb up to your place? 😉

Now that makes for a fascinating visit! I wonder if I could actually drag myself up there to even see! Looks like fun. I’d be tempted to try RVing if we didn’t have nine animals! Kind of makes travel difficult! 😆

You might well think that but we came across a travel trailer no bigger than ours ( and we fall over each other in it) and the couple had fourteen, yes 14! Labradors in it. So load ’em up and head ’em out! I’m just kidding with that last sentence but we really did see the 14 dogs.
LikeLike
I’m speechless! HAHAHAHA! We feel crowded at home; can’t imagine in an RV! Oh, I think I failed to mention that our menagerie is two dogs (small ones, so possible) but then we also have seven cats! Now that would be a challenge! 😆

It was really funny because their door was on the far side of us and we just kept seeing this man walking two golden labs up to the piddle place at the campsite. We thought the poor dogs had bladder problems until we discovered it wasn’t the same two dogs all the time!
