A Quick Week

 

It’s been a week since our last post.  One of those weeks where you stay busy doing lots of nothing.  We departed Montrose and made our way toward a group campground between Durango and Silverton.  A beautiful drive over a road that takes your breath away each time you drive it.

We met up with about twenty other cult members.   You know, “those little trailers”.

Did lots of sitting and visiting with friends, old and new.  Did a little geocaching with John, which took us to the top of the highest mountain around Durango.

The treasure, and logging the find(s).

Did a hike with friends toward the summit of Engineer Peak.

Wildflowers galore. Over head high at the beginning of the trail.

Three miles up and three back.  Not bad for a bunch of old folks……jc

    I just hope you 'eggs' don't roll off the side of the mountain!

    I didn't know you all would be around here. If you don't mind divulging, where to next?
