| no partners | | The first two days of this Colorado trip went according to the script. Two nights in a Durango motel with a train ride to Silverton in between. After that, well the plan was subject to change. Lots of four wheeling that took longer than expected. This meant my rough idea about how far I would travel the next couple of days wouldn't match the reality of the situation. But it was alright, since I still was able to pull it off (mostly) by just making necessary adjustments and driving longer distances. So what else is new? 
After spending an unplanned night in a motel in Ouray, it was off to try to at least make it to somewhere in New Mexico on my way back home. I had planned on heading for Engineer Pass by way of a 4x4 road out of the Ouray area, but that only worked for about a mile and a half off of US550 when I reached a spot in the road that I couldn't navigate past in the truck due to wet slick conditions. So I had to backtrack out and go to Silverton to continue the planned route. Okay, this was going to be a long day! Didn't care as it was all about the photos anyway. 
I had been through Animas Forks a number of times before, but this time I wanted to look around a bit. After checking out some of the buildings in the old town site I drove up into Placer Gulch aways, before continuing on my journey to Engineer Pass and beyond (Lake City, Creede, Wolf Creek Pass, Pagosa Springs, and Chama).
Yep, it was another looong, but very good day on the road!  |
