This is trip 15, in 2015! We arrived in Phoenix (AZ) on March 25th and traveled North and East, taking in Jerome, Mogollon Rim, Zuni (NM), El Morro, Farmington, Durango (CO), Ridgway, Black Canyon NP, Breckenridge and Golden. Moving North from there we have been to Fort Collins, Laramie (WY), Cheyenne, Fort Laramie, Chadron (NE), and on to Custer (SD) to explore The Black Hills, as far North as Devil's Tower (WY). From there we have driven East to Dreadwood,then on to pickup our mail in Box Elder before exploring The Badlands NP. We have been to the capital Pierre (SD Capital), before driving North up the Missouri to Bismarck, the capital of North Dakota. We have finished towing by driving via Fargo and Sauk Centre to Minneapolis, where we will clean and store the rig, ready for us when we return for Trip 16 in the Fall (DV). On this trip we have towed the trailer just over 2800 miles.

Choo Choo Time In Durango

Thursday
Once again we find ourselves moving on, we are travelling north about 50 miles to Durango, in Colorado.
We popped in to say goodbye to the staff at McGhee fairgrounds because they have been so pleasant to us.
We drove north and stopped at Aztec, in a little bistro, for a Coff/Tea. There is another large Pueblo there, but we were kind of Puebloed out so gave it a miss, which we will probably regret later.
We arrived at Durango and took a site at the Fairground, one of six, of which only one was taken.
We now noticed that the weather was deteriorating. We could see snow on the mountains, mountains that we are going to drive over on Sunday! Night time temperatures are now below freezing, so we must take our water pipe in at night.
We have several aims here:
Look at the Durango to Silverton Railway  which we rode back in 2003.
Perhaps go to a bluegrass festival in the old part of town
There is another Pow Wow taking place in the local college so we might go to that.
I need to get the oil changed on the Chevy.
