Milage for the day - 330 miles
We started the day at the Raton Police station where we left the trailer and truck. We took about 30 minutes or so to unload the motorcycles and then we were on our way. The exit to Highway 12 was blocked off for construction, so we had to take a detour in Trinidad till we fond the way. Hwy 12 was a nice ride and we went through the Colorado country side with a majestic view of the mountains in the background. It was a very nice ride till we connected with the highway that leads to Durango.
The highlight of the day was going through wolf creek pass at 10,800 feet. There was snow on the ground and the view was so nice. Took some photos and headed down the back side of the pass to Durango. I was tired after the 300 miles and needed to recharge before going to downtown Durango. We went downtown and they were having a block party with a live band and the people were enjoying themselves. We hung around for a few minutes to listen to a few songs. Then we walked around downtown to check out the town. Back at the hotel we are blogging and watching the weather channel. Looks like rain tomorrow. Hope it goes away.
I'll post some more pics tonight.
