Today we headed out from Denver to Durango, initially heading down US 285 South from Denver – a bit of a pain due to the road being single lane each way, but with passing places that enabled us to get ahead eventually of the cars that insisted on doing 40 on a 60 limit, and slowing to 20 around curves! A nice road though with great scenery …
Talking with Jim McDowell this morning, he’d said to be sure and drive through Ouray, and we realized that to do that we needed to switch routes – so we changed to US 50 and headed west over to US 550 – definitely great advice, as the road through Ouray and on to Durango is incredible!
Its a great drive, some of my old stomping grounds and a great number of good drives in the area.
~1,200 miles down today for GP0509 setting in the garage waiting for a serious scrubbing and polishing. Think I should end up billing several states for the high number of kills on their insect population that coated the car.
Awesome shot of GP
It’s impossible to get bad pics with scenery like that 🙂
