Durango, Colorado

Saturday we left Monument Valley and headed east. We stopped at four corners so I could stand in Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado at one time. We had to wait about 15 minutes for the crowd having their pictures taken.

Durango is very nice. It is at 7000 feet elevation, so it is cool at night and not too hot during the days. A beautiful river runs right by our campground and the town as well.

Sunday is maintenance day, including paying bills. All of the campgrounds we have been staying in have WiFi hotspots, so internet connection is easy. So far, so good!

The old Silverton railroad runs by the campground. It runs from Durango to Silverton and back, a few times a day.

We have had to change our plans for getting to Cheyenne, since some of these Colorado roads are made for mountain goats and not RVs! The passes are as high as 12,000 feet and the roads have hairpin curves, 8% grades and no road shoulders with vertical drop-offs of hundreds of feet.
