After reading your June 26th and 27th Journals this morning, I felt I needed to make a comment.
First of all, feelings about a place, RV park, person, or situation are part of what makes every one of us different, and we really can't control them. We all have feelings about all of the above, whether we want to admit it or not. Sometimes the feelings are good, other times, not so good.
It wasn't too long ago, that we pulled into a RV park for a 1 night stay. The park's first impression, was very nice. It appeared to be clean and well laid out. (The kind of park we would normally be happy in). But I felt uneasy from the moment we dove through the entrance. It was just a "feeling".
We did not stay at that park. The "feeling" was just too strong. We moved on to the next park down the road. I still don't know what it was about that park that bothered me.
On the other hand, the first time I logged onto this web site, I had a very good feeling. I can't explain it, I just had that "good feeling".
I guess the point I am trying to make, is that we can't control our feelings. When you went to Mesa Verde, you had a "feeling", and you were right to write about it. It would not be right to try to hide your feelings as that would take some of the honesty out of your journal, and I feel that is part of why this is such a great site. You don't hide anything, and you let everyone know how you and Linda "feel" about your experiences.
Keep up the good work,
Jim

I have to agree....a blog or journal is "all about YOU" and should contain your thoughts and feelings. It's meant to share YOUR experiences, not tell others what to think. Not everyone out there wants the crowds & tourists....not everyone wants to travel the same roads as the majority. I thoroughly enjoyed it....thank you for sharing.
