If you can get to Ouray, its worth it. The water falls there are some kind of awesome.


If you fly fish, now is a great time. Anywhere you see water. Tons lf gold medal through there.

The Alpine trees are changing color which varies by altitude.

It reminds me of a number trips to the area and how long it has been since the last one. I always recommend taking the train from Durango to Silverton to anyone (whether they're going there or not). I dig your ride too.

It's a 1995 Lazy Daze 23.5 foot Twin King.

Lots of TLC.
About 60K on her.
Koni shocks really helped.
Too many improvements to list.
We're the third owners.

12 for the Mrs if all goes well. That gives me 12 years to talk her into us buying something about that size. Not wanting to wait for the last minute, I check Craigslist every couple of weeks. We'd spend a lot of time in that area for sure. Where else are you bound for?

In the mean time, still gotta work in the morning. If you feel like responding I'll see it then. Safe travels either way.

About halfway through at 2.5 months.

Next is Ouray, CO in a few days.
Got to soak in Telluride now.

Check out Lazy Daze brand of Class C motorhome.
They are well built.
There is a forum.
