Colorful Colorado!

So, early Monday morning, my brother, Nolan, and his wife, Bonnie took off for Durango, Colorado...so that the reservations that had been made, would not be lost.

After consideration of tires, miles and money...it was determined to replace all six tires as to hopefully prevent any further breakdown. So, it was with a bank account somewhat depleted, that Maebh was finally on her way to Colorado...at nearly noon!

Needlesstosay, our drive that day was tiring and dull...in no part boosted by our travels through the landscape of the Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico. Finally, at around 10pm mst, we had to call it quits. Again, we wally-docked, this time in Santa Fe, and I am so glad that we did!

The next morning, we were up bright and early, and driving toward Pagosa Springs, and eventually Durango. The vistas that morning were spectacular! Truly, I feel it would have been a sin to have driven through it in the dark! It was glorious!

On arrival to Durango, we found Nolan and Bonnie happily awaiting our arrival, and we were off!
