Day Three








Well, even though the weather prohibited us from flying today, it did not keep us from having a great time. After our continental breakfast at the motel in Gunnison and after checking numerous weather maps, the group decided that we would not be able to fly as planned today. We got two rental cars and headed toward Durango, Colorado. We already had reservations for a train ride from Durango to Silverton for Tuesday morning, so we decided to just come on to Silverton today and spend the night here, so we would be ready for the train ride in the morning. The ride to Durango was beautiful - gorgeous mountains, waterfalls, and streams. And many, many curvy roads going up the mountains, some without any guard rails! We thought we had reservations at Day's Inn motel, but when we got here it was Days End!!! We walked around the town this afternoon - a lot of quaint buildings and a lot of tourists. We are looking forward to the train trip tomorrow.
