the go all the time last year!!!! We arrived in Durango, Co. on June 9th after a long drive from Texas through New Mexico. We were going to stop in Albuquerque, NM but the weather was not looking that great so we decided to push on to Colorado. It seems that we were just ahead of the rain and after we arrived and got set up it began to rain and rained all the next day. A great day to stay inside and rest after the log drive. The sun has come out here but we have had some rain in the afternoon on several days. It is cool in the mornings and warm in the afternoon. The locals are complaining about all the cool weather, but we rather enjoy it, especially when we look at the temperatures in Palm Coast!!!
We get up in the morning and head out for a walk along the back road. Just down the road is a waterfall. It is so beautiful in the morning with the sun shining down on the water tumbling down the side of the hill. A little further down the road we come to a sign that says "Mechanic on Duty" I love the entrance fence to his workshop... see bottom photo... it reminds me of the charter "Mater" from the Disney movie "Cars". For those of you that have not seen the movie, it is about race cars.... very funny and not just for children!
Our friends Courtney and Gary Webb were here in Durango with their grandchildren for several days. We did manage to get together and have a fun evening of talking and laughting. They are also headed to Anacortes, Washington and will be there when we are there so we will meet up with them again later with several other friends.
Yesterday we went into Durango. Johnny loves to go to the Animal Shelter Thrift Shop as they have used book and he usually finds several hard back book of the authors that he enjoys reading. The books usually sell for $1.oo but yesterday they were having a sale and they were all half price. He got 10 books for $5.00 A Pilots Delight!!!!!. We stopped downtown for lunch at the Carver Tavern, good food and wonderful beer!
Last night the RV park had a Karaoke night.... we did not sing...but some of them were very good. The trains go by everyday and blow their whistle on their way to Silverton up in the mountains. We rode the train last year so do not think we will do it again this year. Tomorrow we plan on driving up to Silverton and maybe on up further to Ouray and wander the towns.
That is about all from here for now. Hope all is well with everyone. You are in our thoughts. Remember that we love to hear from you too....
Love, Candy and Johnny
