Durango, Colorado

Sorry about not updating for several days, but we have been busy and on the road with no wifi.  Friday we got the truck repaired under warranty by 9:30 am in Rapid City and 48 miles later, we were back in Custer, SD and hooked the trailer and left for Colorado. We traveled the back roads most of the day and arrived near Janis Rochester's house and spent the night at a truck stop parking lot.

Sat morning, we had lunch with Janis and Dick and had a great visit. That afternoon we went to Estes Park, CO, the entrance to Rocky MT Natl Park and stayed in a motel. Sunday we went through the park. That was a great trip!! We started just under 7000 ft elevation and went to over 12000 ft, sucking air the whole way. The roads were right on the side of the MT with no guard rails! We ended up in Grand Junction and stayed in a motel parking lot. Can you say "CHEAP"?












Today we traveled through Ouray, Silverton and ended up in Durango, where we are in a motel. We had to park the truck and trailer at a Harley Davidson dealer as there is no room at the motel. Going out for BBQ, Jed is hungry. We are here for 2 nights, I think!
