Today we head to Durango. This day involved no mountain passes and only about 49 miles of riding of pretty much rolling hills.
Our friend, headwinds accompanied us much less this day. Happily, we even had some tailwinds. Because it was a relatively short day, we arrived in Durango quite early.
First on our agenda then was to hop in the pool. We didn't take bathing suits, but that presented no problem.
No photos of me since I was in for a very short time - the water was COLD!
After time at the pool and some very relaxing sun napping, we headed back to our room. That is when I spied our little buddy - a bat. He was hanging right outside our door. Very cute!
After changing clothes, we hopped in a cab and headed to the south side of town.
It is now that I will reveal that Dave has been dealing with a pretty serious case of RV fever. We've been looking at them and learning a ton.
In Durango, on the south side of town is an RV dealer. And they had the type of fifth wheel trailers that caught our eye.
Dave was like a kid in a candy store there.
He was here...
Then he was there...
Then He was over there again...
It was great fun! They did have on the lot *THE* trailer we liked the best. It's a beauty.
After getting our fill of trailer fun, the salesperson who helped us (Cathy) dropped us at a restaurant she recommended called Mutus. This Italian restaurant earned the "best meal of the trip" award. It was not only really affordable, but really tasty.
While there, Dave ran into a friend he'd not seen in 15 years as well so there was some fun catching up between them. Small world.
Finally, we rode the trolley back to our hotel and dove into our Temperapedic bed. Those mattresses are the ticket. We then enjoyed our best night of sleep on the trip.
I slept well, but I did spend a lot of time considering the task for tomorrow - Durango to just past Ouray... 74 miles and three mountain passes: Coal Bank Pass, Molas Pass and Red Mountain Pass.
