I'm up just before 7:00 & the tenters who came in after dark are already gone..did they pay? And the tiny little Jayco pop up-maybe a 6 footer, are tearing down..where are they going? They just got here! The sky is very blue & the Sun is very bright. I'm at our picnic table & it needs some work..I almost fall backwards, just sitting down, as the seat tilts back. The birds are chirpin', the coffee is hot & the cookies are tasty. We'll be outa here in a couple of hours. Where are the Haws today? At the dude ranch in Gunnison? In other news, how many dogs can travel with one RV? There's two different couples that have 3 dogs on leashes, but a cat on a leash? It's a weird world out there. As we are packing, we realize that we never had one of Green River's famous melons..the Vetere melon..oh well, we didn't make it to the museum either. Off to I-70 and down to Moab for lunch. The construction isn't too bad & no more stones into the windshield. Into Moab about 11:00 & we're the first customers of the day at Jay's Pasta. A great lunch! KK had the Itialian Sandwich-almost a Danny's Hoagie!-and I had the deep dish Spaghetti with marinara sauce. Then a walk to the visitor center, before heading out of this lovely valley & on to the Southeast. It's still pretty scenic and even another arch, right by the road! Into Colorado & a stop in Cortez for gas & a DQ!(Yes, we travel the country looking for Dairy Queens.) Looks like a storm toward our destination, but we get around most of it before getting into Durango & a right turn up to the KOA. Our Nav system works perfectly this time & delivers us-"Destination Ahead"- to the driveway of the KOA. It's a nice campground, with a new pool, shade trees & a friendly folks. Dick takes us to our site..#29 , right by the showers & office. Set up by 4:30 & go down into historic Durango to see the town & get tickets for the train ride. It's an old narrow gauge railroad that goes up to Silverton & back. We get tickets for tomorrow & believe me, Mr Tightwad would not approve of the pricey tickets..194 for two..OUCH! We also look for bike paths & find a couple down by the Animas River. We'll try them out before the train ride tomorrow. Back to camp, where they serve pizzas every night, delivered to your site..home made! We order a supreme, and yep, here it comes to our camper...what a deal..for only 14 bucks. (Pretty damn' good too.) Then I remember that the bike rack is under the front of the camper & we have to dig it out & work it thru the little hatch for tomorrow's ride. Now some e-mails, blogging, reading, post cards & to the showers. A pretty mild day for us-no bikin', no hikin'-or as L&C would say.."nothing much happened today"...see ya in Silverton.
