May 31--- Durango, CO

It appears I have some "catching up" to do here. May 29, Saturday, we left Torrey and drove to Durango, CO (around 300 miles). We traveled scenic hwys 24, 95, and 191 in Utah--great area. We passed through part of the Glen Canyon Rec Area which is a great place. In fact, that area would be good to explore.

We came into CO on hwy 491 and 160. We are staying at Durango River Rv Resort which is 12 miles north of Durango on hwy 550 on the Animas river. It was very crowded and noisy over the Holiday weekend but has cleared out today. Yesterday, Sunday, we bought groceries, etc, and ate lunch in Durango.

Today we drove up the Florida river (yes it is in Colorado) into the mountains above Durango to the Lemon Reservoir and above. Very rocky, rocky rocky road. Planning to head to Silverton tomorrow (day trip).
