Durango and back

Tuesday we took a day trip down to Durango and back. On the way South we took 550. This road has some great views, fun curves, and the road is in tip-top condition. The only drawback is the heavy traffic which took away a lot of the fun. But it was still a good experience. No pics of this part due to road rage.

On the way back up North we took 145. This road was fairly nice as well, but we got DUMPED on by a thunderstorm. Not only did this slow us down to a crawl, but we also had to cross a few rivers of bright red mud that were washing over the road. No pics of this section due to heavy rain.

To celebrate getting back to the cabin we put on some dry clothes, had some fried fish from what we caught yesterday, and did nothing. And it was great.
