... scattered.

Eventually, the oncoming cars (all two of them) reached us and we continued on up the newly paved road to see what the Dunes looked like. They turned out to be a spectacular phenomenon of sand dunes in an otherwise normal mountain valley, caused by the perfect balance of sand washed down from the mountains with sand blown up from the valley. We were able to scramble across a few of the dunes before the rain came pouring down and ...

... Hmmm. By the evening of the second day I had begun to watch. Moths were everywhere. When I was packing up to go, I had to chase a dozen or so out of the van. When I packed things into the storage areas outside the van, moths were found. As I pulled away slowly (as I do), I noticed that the ground, where the van had been, was covered. Although I ...

... staring at my stuff, while second-guessing every purchase I've recently made wondering if it is truly something I will need, yet in entering the unknown I can never actually be sure. I think that Peace Corps forgot to mention in its emails the confusion one faces before entering into service. I thought (while looking at the situation on the surface) that I had it all ...

... snow-covered mountains and has remained here ever since. No more sand is still collecting here, but the existing sand keeps being recycled with the water and wind action. Because of this unique environment it is home to some unique species of insects. It also has a very unusual way of moving the water along the creek... it washes along in pulses or waves which look amazing. It is due to the way the water creates the sand ...

... and the resort closing has been ******* the business community. Our trip out of Durango was on Highway 160 which took us through Wolf Creek pass at 11,000 foot elevation. The route was through a fantastic cut in the mountains with some really awesome views. We passed Wolf Creek Ski area which is at the summit of the mountain. We met a lot bikes heading to Taos, New Mexico for a rally this weekend. Also it ...

... heck of a lot, but after cruising the museum gift shop we decided to get back on the road and keep truckin' rather than pay yet another admission. The main industries in the western Kansas and southeastern Colorado high plains are wheat, other grains and plant-oil crops, and cattle. Many of the cattle are being moved to large feedlots, which mar the otherwise bucolic landscape and smell to high heaven. Even the meat packing plants have better odor control. The ...

... to faint! It was 114 degrees up there, the hottest recorded temperature for this time of year! We got down to the bottom again - sliding on our bums most of the way - i nearly got mine stuck in this really tight steep crack in the rock - very scary! Anyway, the rest of the day we went to this place called Devils Bridge - it's a naturally formed bridge shaped rocked which is hundreds of feet high!O walkedover it without looking ...

... you're buggered cause they just want to hear yur accent all the time so keep you talking! Gutted! Gosh, only a few more weeks and this Greyhound bus pass runs out - thank goodness! So, anyway, Sante Fe is grorgeous. It really is like a little Mexico. It's a really relaxed and happy atmospere. The Plaza had live bands on tonight - and there are little kids everywhere dancing around the little village, it was ...

I don't claim to be an expert skier, heck I don't even claim to be a good skier, but I would have to say some of the best skiing I have experienced in my life was in the mountains of Colorado. The slops provide skiing for every class of risk taker from the beginner to the expert. Some of my favorites are the slow and leisure slops that simply wined down the mountain giving you the chance to take in the scenery and the experience.
