Topic: Road Trip

Howdy,

Just winding down on my 14 days off and they have been some good ones. Went to Sturgis MC Rally for 4 days then returned home packed our bags and headed South to Casper Wy. then on to Rawlins Wy , Craig Colorado and ended up in Grand Junction Co the first night . Next day we headed south to Ouray Co to Silverton and what a spectacular Highway and view of the San Juan mountains. When leaving Silverton you head straight up and there are no guard rails , the white line next to the shoulder of the road, except there is no shoulder just the white line and many places a mile straight down. Kind of a white knuckle drive at times but man it is really something. I took a lot of pics but there aren't a lot of places to stop so my pics don't do it justice.
We ended up in Durango the 2nd night. The 3rd day we went from Durango Co to Pueblo Co and Then went on to Loveland Co for the Rocky Mt Quilt Show, Lizzie loves her quilting smile more than I do for sure . Anyway heres a few pix.

Re: Road Trip

Don't know where the 6th pic was taken but that town is screaming for a music festival!!! No cars, booths of various kinds lined up and thousands of people. Looks like the perfect setting for a blues fest.

Keep Rockin!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Road Trip

The town below me is Ouray, and the other town is Silverton. Close by within a few miles is Telluride and the Bluegrass festival there is huge. Pagosa Springs has a folk festival coming up labor day weekend. Here's a link
