We enjoyed both places, and even had a nice meal in Cortez, at a brew-pub there, IIRC.<br /><br />@Anonymous (Tom Turner): The part shown in the link you sent won't fit. But I thank you very much for sending it, because it did give me the key words I needed to complete my own search: "rod end clip." I found something close enough that I think it will work, here: <a href="http://www.clipsandfasteners.com/GM_Door_Lock_Rod_Clip_Right_Side_5_32_Rod_Size_p/a18392.htm" rel="nofollow">www.clipsandfasteners.com/GM_Door_Lock_Rod_Clip_Right_Side_5_32_Rod_Size_p/a18392.htm</a>, and, at about $9 for 25 of them, including shipping, it certainly won't hurt to try them. So, again, thanks.<br /><br />@Michael: You bet. This is also not the first dry reservation we've come across, and they are very serious about it -- they consider it a violation of tribal law to possess alcohol, and you can be arrested by the tribal police. It is, I think, something of an overreaction to rampant alcoholism among some Native Americans. The problem, of course, is running a dry casino probably means you are leaving lots of revenue on the table, and punishing your customers for something that is not really their problem. But, when on tribal lands, we respect tribal law.<br /><br />-SeanSeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-79384208309739288072009-07-08T02:45:49.626-04:002009-07-08T02:45:49.626-04:00Dry reservation?

Perhaps that is why the service was less cheerful than might be desired.<br /><br />MikeMichael Lockridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06748256055779697021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-75891022312877867992009-07-07T16:52:49.782-04:002009-07-07T16:52:49.782-04:00Look at the pic on the link below and see if this ...Look at the pic on the link below and see if this is kinda what you need.

We had intended to visit Mesa Verde, but it was closed due to fire (Summer '03 I think). We decided instead to check out Hovenweep National Monument just across the border into Utah. If you haven't been there already and have the chance, it's a really cool place.Ryan Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00062711952576351141noreply@blogger.com
