I had arranged to meet my brother in Rock Springs, WY.
Where we would put my bike in the back of his truck
and then travel down to Durango, CO
He showed up just after 12:30 am
I let him in
he hit the bed, and started snoring
I had already been listening to Rob snore for two hours
so when my skanky brother started
Strange thoughts entered my head
The first
deal with them both
get a good nights sleep
make a run for the Mexican border
The second
put in some earplugs
I opted for the second
I am quite lazy :)
Our route would take us through the
Flaming Gorge Reservoir
into Utah, then back to Colorado
The wind was intense
I was quite glad that I was not on my bike
Storms came, and left very quickly
By about now I thought that I had heard all I could about the wonders of the
GREEN CHILE
but I had not reconed on the next
seven hours
The landscape lulled me
Bla bla bla green chiles
You would not be such a grump if bla bla green chiles
This is a photo of a photo of the dam
We could not get down to see it
By now the heat had started to climb
and I was wining
In Vernal
They have set up a memorial
For the Vietnam war
Woo Hoo Colorado
Great roads
This is leading into the town of Ouray CO.

Now headed over
Red Mountain Pass
The painted line IS the edge of the road
A few thousand foot drop to the bottom
Looking back towards Ouray
This stream runs through quite a band of yellow stone
That is why it is such a lovely shade
Near the top of the pass
was another small mining town
The next town that you come to is Silverton
This is Jesus of the mines
A few shots of Silverton
Just outside Durango
Is this amazing mineral spring
After stamping around in the waters for a while
my brother said" come wash your face"
No thanks :(
It was dark when we finally made it too my brothers place
So, unload everything and have some beer
