On to Durango

Just a quick post.  Even the drive to Durango was fantastic.  The colors are past peak now, but even so there are patches of bright yellow where the aspens haven't yet lost all their leaves.  I don't drive the motorhome down the Million Dollar Highway (550) that goes from Ridgway to Durango, through Ouray and Silverton.  I'm chicken.  I'll now drive the Jeep and have driven the motorcycle down that road, but no way with the motorhome, so instead we go around past Telluride, through Deloras, and into Durango from the west.  It only adds about 25 miles and it's a beautiful ride in and of itself.  We even found a nice spot big enough to pull over and have lunch.
Lunch stop
We got to the campground in Durango about 3:30pm.  Kind of quiet compared to the summer months.  There's only about 20 of us here, as they wind down the season and close at the end of the month, hopefully before the snow flies!
Fall has come
