We left at 9 am (GA Time). On our way back to highway 160 we saw a heard of antelope... I think a heard of mule deer too (will have to make sure on video tape) and we saw a herd of elk does... maybe a young buck with no antlers in with them. We stopped and took pictures of the dunes in the morning light. It sure was beautiful. It sure was worth going that 16 miles and back :-)


We stopped at Wal-Mart at Alamosa Colorado. Just a few staples of milk and eggs & such.


We bought gas for $4.49 a gallon at Alamosa.


We stopped at a rest stop to stretch our legs.. but I can't remember what town it was near.


Our ride through the mountains was beautiful. There were spruce and aspen trees and a few trees I don't know what are. There was still some snow on the mountain sides and water flowing down the mountains into streams. We traveled through two short tunnels. The scenery was magnificent.


We arrived at our camp site at about 3:15 (GA Time). We are at Lightner Creek Campground. It is very nice and the host are great. We saw our first Magpie today. There are a few robins about too.


After eating our dinner we went into Durango and purchased our tickets for the train ride tomorrow. We also went into Wal-Mart... we always need something :-) Then over to the car wash and went into the RV supply store across the road. Then back to Wal-mart :-D Then back to camp for shower and pack our fanny packs for tomorrow.

We traveled 191 miles today.
