... come to the national park and spend a couple of hours on their way to somewhere else. I can't say that our visit was much different, although our day started with birding in an oak forest, the bluebirds are always fun to gauwk at. We took the guided tour at the park and wandered through the ancient dwellings or religious spaces, food storage areas and so on. It feels a bit weird to know you are walking where someone ...

... mountain town that has grown because of the railroad that stops here. We met some lovely people from New Mexico, Lisa and Brad, who camped next to us with their dog and 2 cats. Tomorrow we are headed North along a scenic route through the San Juan National Forest. RVing is the best.<br>

... br>There, Joe. There's your mention :)<br><br>Oh, Joe. I miss you and love you too! Now turn that frown upside down! :)<br><br>Before I go, I wanted to share some more great news.

... have come to the Bar D to experience their chuckwagon dinners. We were served BBQ beef, brown beans, homemade applesauce, a baked potato and spice cake on tin plates. It was delicious! After dinner, 4 extremely talented musicians performed Western songs for us. They were fabulous! It was so much fun :)<br><br>It did not slip my mind - and I know that she is thinking that it did - but my awesome family had another surprise in store for me last week ...

Hello from Durango, Colorado!<br><br>My parents and I had a tearful good-bye before leaving Carbondale, CO this morning. Our second bus had yet to arrive so my Dad went to go and get some coffee at a nearby coffee shop. I was among 15-20 people waiting for the second bus to arrive because there was no room on the first bus for our large luggage. As soon as Dad left, the second bus showed up. I became hysterical, thinking that I wouldn't ...

... sold out and that the remaining 800 were going on sale when the gates opened at 10am. The fact that they even sold advance tickets (not to mention that they were sold out!) made us kind of think that it sounded like a popular event there. So we thought that it would be best if we were able to get there early to get in line for the tickets.<br> We left town just after 5pm and got to the campground in Durango by 7pm. Just ...

After spending the night in Gallup, NM, we continued onto Durango, CO, where we would spend the night with my cousin, Diane. We arrived mid-afternoon, and after a short visit, Diane got us on the road, as she wanted to take us up to Silverton, about an hour away. Unfortunately, halfway up the mountain her low fuel light came on and informed us we only had 18 miles to an empty tank. Since none of us really wanted to chance running out of gas ...

... Built in 1881, this railway between Durango and Silverton still operates today, though it's only freight now is tourists and not the silver ore of decades past. I first took the bus up to Silverton, and then caught the train back to Durango. It was a very impressive train ride, as the photos will attest. I barely sat down for the three hour journey, much preferring to move around and take photos. Two people I met on the train were Greg and ...
