Moab, drive to Cortes, Mancos

We drove from Canyonlands to Moab to replenish groceries. Ate at a food truck (Quesadilla Mobilla), the number one rated “restaurant” in Moab on Trip Advisor. It was very good. Then we took Sammy to the dog park, he loved it, then on the road to Cortes and a Harvest Host site called Mancos Pizza. Mesa Verde is 9 minutes away. Mancos is a microbrewery. The beer we had was very good, the food was fine. The parking lot is 50/50 mud and gravel and I got stuck driving to the RV site where the gravel peters out and is mostly mud. One of the owners has a tractor out back and pulled me out. On the way here we stopped at a small park in Cortes to bird watch. Two new life birds, Cinnamon teal and Marsh Wren. Then we noticed another dog park. Sammy loves being chased by other dogs so we spent 30 minutes there before coming to Mancos Pizza. On to Mesa Verde tomorrow.
