Early in the morning we were delayed in Leadville, CO. Turns out they were having a parade for burro races day. We stopped to check it out. They obviously have an excellent taste in foods.
We didn't stick around for the Burro Races and headed on. Stopped to eat at a roadside BBQ. Unfortunately, dropped the camera and killed it.
Continued South then West on Route 50 toward Gunnison then Montrose where we went to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Very impressive.
Next we headed down Route 550 aka "The Millonaires Hwy." This was 100 miles of switch backs, no guardrail, shear drop offs and mountain passes. Along the way, we passed through the town of Ouray, which is an old mining town. We would have stopped but it was so hilly we couldnt find a spot to park the bike.
Once in Durango, we couldn't resist the BBQ place next to our Hotel.
It is great to hear from y'all again. The blog had gone quiet for a few days and left me wondering where you were and what you were doing.
ReplyDeleteI love the pics of the Rockies. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
