A TWO DAYER DOWN SOUTH

We decided to take a nice two

day trip down south for a late

summer ride. We went down

to Lake City and Creede and then

to South Fork, Pagosa Springs,

Durango, Silverton, Ouray

and then home.

Dave L. I hope he is just going for

his wallet to pay for the overpriced

gas at this place.

We are going to Blue Mesa Lake before

dropping south to Lake City.

After getting to Blue Mesa Lake,
 we head down south.

Just outside of Lake City, we took in a

little history.

Kind of creepy!!!

All of that talk about eating has made

me hungry.
Hey, when in Rome... LOL

 

Taking in the views.

Me and Dave L.

And wow!!! what views they are.

Cruisin' some corners.

We will definitely be doing this

trip again.

Coming down off Antelope Mountain to

Creede

Remnants of days past.

Cool old place in Creede

Down town Creede

We booked reservations in South Fork

for the night.

Cary was told that they would have to

wait for their key because the owner

had to fix a bullet hole in the window.

(The owners idea of fixing the window was postage tape)

LOL

Dave headed out to the hot tub to kick

back, sporting this season's new look in

biker pool wear.
The old,, and I mean old hot tub was back across the gravel

and weeds, so you had to wear your boots to get to it.

Ahhh, the sun is coming up and there is

a frost on the bike. Looks like its going to be 

a great day.

The road up the pass was very shady

in the morning, so we pulled over

to put on some warm gear.

Cary messing with Ray LOL

I don't think she is buying it...

Couldn't pass up the picture while

we were stopped.

Cary and Ray and a beautiful overlook.

This was a cool tree growing on a

rocky ledge.

After breakfast in Pagosa Springs,

we cruised on through Durango. It was

very busy and traffic was heavy.

We did several passes this trip.

Red Mountain Pass.

Cary, Ray, Dave and myself.

The Ouray Hot Springs were packed so we

just kept on riding and enjoying the day.

Cary and Ray headed out front

Mt. Garfield means that we are close to

Grand Junction and almost home.

Thanks Cary, Ray and Dave for coming

along on this ride. A good trip is always

a good time but one with friends is

even better.
