Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Train

So much fun…not enough time!

We spent the day on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Train!  The ride was so beautiful…the train went through the San Juan Mountains.  The track ran along the Animas River and in many areas we were right on the edge of a rock cliff over the water,

Once in Silverton we booked it to Thee Pitt’s Again, BBQ!  This restaurant was on “Diners and Drive-ins”.  The best onion rings in the world!  (The BBQ was good too!)  Silverton was very busy, it was biker weekend and Labor Day weekend.  The rumble of motorcycles was everywhere!  

Once back on the train we all relaxed, had a beer and enjoyed the ride back to Durango.  A very special day!

Travel Update:

We left Colorado Springs yesterday on our journey east. Susan and Atom returning to Rehoboth Beach and we are heading to Richmond VA.  At some point we will be taking delivery of our new Airstream 25’ Flying Cloud and our EBikes arrive in Richmond next Thursday!

Tonight is our last night with Susan and Atom….we had such a good time together touring Colorado as well as a speck of Utah…so many memories shared with these very special friends…we will miss them!!!!

Coming up:

Mesa Verde, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods!  

Long term plans: November in  Arizona, December/January near Palm Springs, CA, spring on the coast of CA, summer in the Canadian Rockies!  

Enjoy the video!

    When I first got out of school there was a job posting in Durango but I thought “who wants to go to Durango, I want to be around Denver”. Duh! That area is awesome. Another great video! Glad you got to enjoy it with friends.

      Durango is a great little town! The train was so fun…we are near Huntington for the night! You are one of our greatest video fans! 😉
