Well, after much discussion and many horror stories we decided not to take the 550 Highway from Montrose to Durango today. It might have been the U-tube videos or maybe the guy next door telling Jim about his friend that was forced off the road and died on Red Mountain Pass. Anyway, we took the easy way down through Lizard Pass which added 3 or 4 hours to the drive, but we arrived safely in Durango.
We drove the San Juan Scenic By-Way and it was a very beautiful trip through the mountains. I took the best pictures that I could from the coach window, but nothing can compare to the actual sights we saw. We had a little mishap on the way, we missed a turn on the 2 lane highway and had to un-hook and make a U-turn. Pretty frightening, when you have not one but two 40 foot coaches to turn around the middle of the road.We are here now in the very beautiful Alpen Rose RV Resort in Durango and will be here for 5 days. I have already seen deer hopping over the fence in the 2 acre dog run which I am not ever going to use.
