Hi All, We left Santa Fe, New Mexico on Wednesday, June 18. It was a clear warm morning and an easy drive to Durango, Colorado. You can sure tell when you cross the border into Colorado as the green comes back in the picture! New Mexico is a very dry place. We
are going to stay here for about 2 weeks at the Alpen Rose RV Park, It is a nice campground with lots of shade to sit under and rest. We plan on doing some touring around the area while we are here. We have driven over to Ouray with a stop in the town of Silverton. Ouray reminds us a great deal of Park City Utah.
So far we have not done very much but catch up on our reading and the e-mail. Today is Saturday and we went into the town of Durango and went to an art fair in the park and found the local farmers market. Stopped by the information office in town and got lots of information of what there is to see and do around here. Monday we are going to take the steam engine train over the mountains to Silverton, have lunch and take the train back. They have some white water rafting here in town on the Animas River and John thinks that would be fun. We also have planned a day trip over to the Masa Verde National Park. And I am sure that there are several more things to see also.
From here we may go over to Moab, Utah for a stay. From there we are not quite sure which way we will head.
The weather has been great. Here in Durango it is warm during the day but cools off very nicely at night.
Well, that is about all for now. Hope all is well with everyone and that you are enjoying the summer! Remember t
that we love to hear from you also. You can either e-mail me at boatgoddess@earthlink.net or John at
sloboat@earthlink.net.
Take care, until later,
Candy and Johnny on the road in Colorado
